RE: Feedback wanted on new JavaScript library

And IBM recently announced another on GitHub

https://developer.ibm.com/open/openprojects/va11ys/
Va11yS, (pronounced "valleys") or Verified Accessibility Samples, is a 
repository of live working code samples that designers and developers can 
easily access to test with different assistive technologies and tools. See 
video, and more.

GitHub repo activity Va11yS
By using GitHub and hosting this repository in the open source community, 
we hope to reach the largest audience of collaborators while building a 
collection of accessible code samples covering a vast range of languages, 
technologies and frameworks such as HTML, CSS, ARIA, Angular, React, Swift 
and the list goes on!

Tobias, I now see you are already using aria-query project ... cool.

Another project that is related and would simplify this is the 
accessibility object model:

Tobias,

Another like this is:
https://github.com/A11yance/aria-query

There are several organizations that have similar needs. I think there are 
enough of us who are W3C members and who also participate in ARIA to form 
a project that could become part of ARIA itself. Would you be interested 
in contributing to such an effort? Any others?

Matt

Subject: Feedback wanted on new JavaScript library

Hi,

as a web developer, I sometimes wish I could easily access ARIA roles and 
attributes from JavaScript. I was looking for a library that would allow 
me to do that, but did not find one. So I wrote my own:

  https://github.com/xi/aria-api

Now I would be very happy to get some feedback, especially:

- Are there already libraries that do what I want? Are there better ways 
to do it?

- Do you know of any test cases I could include?

- Can you think of use cases for this kind of library. I feel that it
*should* exist, but I can only think of a handful of useful applications.
