**NOTICE: The API for AXObject Query is very much under development until a major version release. Please be aware that data structures might change in minor version releases before 1.0.0 is released.**
# AXObject Query
Approximate model of the [Chrome AXObject](https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/third_party/WebKit/Source/modules/accessibility/AXObject.h).
The project attempts to map the AXObject concepts to the [WAI-ARIA 1.1 Roles Model](https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#roles) so that a complete representation of the semantic HTML layer, as it is exposed assistive technology, can be obtained.
## Utilities
### AXObjects
```javascript
import { AXObjects } from 'axobject-query';
```
AXObjects are mapped to their HTML and ARIA concepts in the `relatedConcepts` field.
The `type` field is a loose association of an AXObject to the `window`, `structure` and `widget` abstract roles in ARIA. The `generic` value is given to `DivRole`; it does not exist in ARIA. Divs are special in HTML in the way that they are used as generic containers. Span might have also been associated with a generic type except that there is no `SpanRole` AXObject.
