Struct ElementData 

pub struct ElementData {

    pub role: Role,
    pub name: Option<String>,
    pub value: Option<String>,
    pub description: Option<String>,
    pub bounds: Option<Rect>,
    pub actions: Vec<String>,
    pub states: StateSet,
    pub numeric_value: Option<f64>,
    pub min_value: Option<f64>,
    pub max_value: Option<f64>,
    pub stable_id: Option<String>,
    pub pid: Option<u32>,
    pub attributes: HashMap<String, Value>,
    pub raw: RawPlatformData,
    pub handle: u64,
}

The raw data for a single element in an accessibility tree.

This is the underlying data struct. Most consumers should use Element, which wraps ElementData with a provider reference for lazy navigation. ElementData is used directly by provider implementors.

Fields

role: Role

Element role

name: Option<String>

Human-readable name (title, label)

value: Option<String>

Current value (text content, slider position, etc.)

description: Option<String>

Supplementary description (tooltip, help text)

bounds: Option<Rect>

Bounding rectangle in screen pixels

actions: Vec<String>

Available actions reported by the platform.

Names are snake_case strings — well-known actions use their standard names ("press", "toggle", "expand", etc.) and platform-specific actions use their converted names (e.g. macOS AXCustomThing → "custom_thing").

states: StateSet

Current state flags

numeric_value: Option<f64>

Numeric value for range controls (sliders, progress bars, spinners).

min_value: Option<f64>

Minimum value for range controls.

max_value: Option<f64>

Maximum value for range controls.

stable_id: Option<String>

Platform-assigned stable identifier for cross-snapshot correlation.

• macOS: AXIdentifier
• Windows: AutomationId
• Linux: D-Bus object_path

Not all elements have one.

pid: Option<u32>

Process ID of the application that owns this element.

attributes: HashMap<String, Value>

Full set of element attributes — both normalized properties and platform-specific ones — keyed by snake_case names. Named properties (name, value, enabled, etc.) also appear here.

raw: RawPlatformData

Platform-specific raw data

handle: u64

Opaque handle for the provider to look up the platform object. Not serialized — only valid within the provider that created it.

Implementations

impl ElementData

pub fn populate_attributes(&mut self)

Populate the attributes map from the struct’s named properties. Providers should call this after constructing ElementData to ensure normalized attributes are present in the map.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for ElementData

fn clone(&self) -> ElementData

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for ElementData

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for ElementData

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Serialize for ElementData

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
