Developers can use either ARIA landmarks or native semantic HTML to provide structure and meaning to content. Native semantic HTML is the foundation of accessibility, while ARIA landmarks supplement this structure with additional information about each region. By combining both methods, developers can create a more accessible web experience.
Native semantic HTML elements provide meaning to web page structure and are preferred for simple websites or static content, while ARIA landmarks add explicit meaning and are useful for dynamic content, non-semantic elements, or complex web applications.
