Playwright.Page.Accessibility (playwright v1.18.0-alpha.1) View Source
Playwright.Page.Accessibility provides functions for inspecting Chromium's accessibility tree.
The accessibility tree is used by assistive technology such as screen readers or switches.
Accessibility is a very platform-specific thing. On different platforms, there are different screen readers that might have wildly different output.
Rendering engines of Chromium, Firefox and WebKit have a concept of "accessibility tree", which is then translated into different platform-specific APIs. Accessibility namespace gives access to this Accessibility Tree.
Most of the accessibility tree gets filtered out when converting from internal browser AX Tree to Platform-specific AX-Tree or by assistive technologies themselves. By default, Playwright tries to approximate this filtering, exposing only the "interesting" nodes of the tree.

snapshot(Playwright.Page.t(), options()) :: snapshot()
Captures the current state of the accessibility tree.
The result represents the root accessible node of the page.
Examples
Dumping an entire accessibility tree:
Browser.new_page(browser)
|> Page.set_content("<p>Hello!</p>")
|> Page.Accessibility.snapshot()
%{children: [%{name: "Hello!", role: "text"}], name: "", role: "WebArea"}Retrieving the name of a focused node:
body = "<input placeholder='pick me' readonly /><input placeholder='not me' />"
Browser.new_page(browser)
|> Page.set_content(body)
|> Page.Accessibility.snapshot()
|> (&(Enum.find(&1.children, fn e -> e.readonly end))).()
%{name: "pick me", readonly: true, role: "textbox"}
