## Overview
**klassijs-a11y-validator** is a powerful tool designed to automate the **verification of accessibility compliance** for digital content, such as websites or applications. It helps developers and testers identify accessibility issues to ensure compliance with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) by programmatically testing elements against established standards (e.g., WCAG 2.0,2.1,2.2 on level A, AA and AAA). The function aims to ensure a more inclusive user experience, especially for individuals with disabilities, by identifying and helping resolve accessibility issues.
## Key Features:
- **Automated Accessibility Testing**: Quickly validates the accessibility of web pages and applications.
- **Compliance Checks**: Ensures your application meets WCAG 2.0/2.1 guidelines and other accessibility standards.
- **Detailed Reporting**: Provides detailed reports on accessibility issues found during validation.
- **Customizable Rules**: Customize which accessibility rules you want to check based on your project's needs.
- **Integration Ready**: Easily integrate into your CI/CD pipelines for continuous accessibility validation.## Installation
