The MiniApps Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of MiniApp Manifest. This specification is a registry of supplementary members for the Web Application Manifest and the Web App Manifest – Application Information specifications that provide additional metadata to an application manifest to describe MiniApps. This JSON-based manifest file enables developers to set up basic information, window style, page route, and other information of a MiniApp. The manifest also includes information about the window style like the navigation bar, title, window background color, page routing information, and the widgets that are part of a MiniApp.
