File that contains all WAI-ARIA roles as defined by W3's specification and in alphabetical order. If you want to read more about a role's purpose, take a look at the role definitions list.

A type of dialog that contains an alert message, where initial focus goes to an element within the dialog.
A structure containing one or more focusable elements requiring user input, such as keyboard or gesture events, that do not follow a standard interaction pattern supported by a widget role.
A section of a page that consists of a composition that forms an independent part of a document, page, or site.
A region that contains mostly site-oriented content, rather than page-specific content.
An input that allows for user-triggered actions when clicked or pressed.
A cell in a tabular container.
A checkable input that has three possible values: true, false, or mixed.
A cell containing header information for a column.
A composite widget containing a single-line textbox and another element, such as a listbox or grid, that can dynamically pop up to help the user set the value of the textbox.
A supporting section of the document, designed to be complementary to the main content at a similar level in the DOM hierarchy, but remains meaningful when separated from the main content.
A large perceivable region that contains information about the parent document.
A definition of a term or concept.

An element containing content that assistive technology users may want to browse in a reading mode.
A scrollable list of articles where scrolling may cause articles to be added to or removed from either end of the list.
A perceivable section of content that typically contains a graphical document, images, code snippets, or example text. The parts of a figure MAY be user-navigable.
A landmark region that contains a collection of items and objects that, as a whole, combine to create a form.
A composite widget containing a collection of one or more rows with one or more cells where some or all cells in the grid are focusable by using methods of two-dimensional navigation, such as directional arrow keys.
A cell in a grid or treegrid.
A set of user interface objects which are not intended to be included in a page summary or table of contents by assistive technologies.

A single item in a list or directory.
A type of live region where new information is added in meaningful order and old information may disappear.

An element whose implicit native role semantics will not be mapped to the accessibility API.
A section whose content is parenthetic or ancillary to the main content of the resource.

A group of radio buttons.
A perceivable section containing content that is relevant to a specific, author-specified purpose and sufficiently important that users will likely want to be able to navigate to the section easily and to have it listed in a summary of the page.

A row of cells in a tabular container.
A structure containing one or more row elements in a tabular container.
A cell containing header information for a row in a grid.
A graphical object that controls the scrolling of content within a viewing area, regardless of whether the content is fully displayed within the viewing area.
A landmark region that contains a collection of items and objects that, as a whole, combine to create a search facility.

A user input where the user selects a value from within a given range.

A contextual popup that displays a description for an element.
A type of list that may contain sub-level nested groups that can be collapsed and expanded.
A grid whose rows can be expanded and collapsed in the same manner as for a tree.
An option item of a tree. This is an element within a tree that may be expanded or collapsed if it contains a sub-level group of tree item elements.
Use this to break out of this package's requirements. Useful if there is a role that this package does not support yet.
