Structure

The structure of the JSON file closely mirrors the UAAG Standard itself:

• There are 5 Principles of UAAG (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Programmatic access, and Specifications and conventions)
• Each Principle has Guidelines
• Each Guideline has Success Criteria

In this JSON format the Success Criteria have been broken down further:

• Special Cases - additional considerations on the applicability of the SC. There are 3 types of special cases
  • exception - the special case, if satisfied, creates an exception whereby the SC does not apply
  • at_least_one - at least one of the special cases must apply
  • all_true - all of the special cases must apply
• Notes - any other notes that accompany the Success Criterion
• The Level of a Success Criterion is either A, AA, AA, or A,AA,AAA meaning the SC corresponds to the desired level of WCAG conformance.

A full UAAG SC Entry looks like this:

{
	"ref_id" : "sc_114",
	"title" : "Facilitate Clear Display of Alternative Content for Time-based Media",
	"description" : "For recognized on-screen alternative content for time-based media (e.g. captions, sign language video), the following are all true",
	"level" : "A",
	"url_fragment" : "sc_114",
	"notes" : [
		{ "content" : "Depending on the screen area available, the display of the primary time-based media can need to be reduced in size to meet this requirement. " }
	],
	"special_cases" : [
		{
			"type": "all_true",
			"title": "Don't obscure controls",
			"description": "Displaying time-based media alternatives doesn't obscure recognized controls for the primary time-based media."
		},
		{
			"type": "all_true",
			"title": "Don't obscure primary media",
			"description": "The user can specify that displaying time-based media alternatives doesn't obscure the primary time-based media. "
		}
	]
},
