Manifest

An application manifest is a describing format for an installable web application. A manifest is one of the key things that distinguish an Web Application from a website. A manifest can contain the downloadable link of the application, icons, and the permissions required by the app, among other things. JSON format is most generally used format.

  • This JSON file consists of a top-level object and several properties. The JSON grammar is described in [RFC4627].
