Choosing an Accessible UI Framework

Starting a new project and selecting from the latest UI frameworks is a challenging experience. How do you know the one you choose is accessible?

Using some basic checks, we review Angular, Bootstrap, Ionic, Foundation, jQuery Mobile, and Material Design Lite for some common interactions and patterns including: Forms, Tabs, and Dialogs.
