- history

The MiniApp Widget is a special form of MiniApp Page. Unlike a page, a widget can occupy a certain area instead of the entire screen. It is used to display key information and respond to simple user operations, such as displaying the weather at the user’s current location, or tracking the user’s current travel status and providing further actions.

This specification defines semantics and conformance requirements for a MiniApp package, and the structure of the single file container that holds the resources of a MiniApp, including a manifest file, static page templates, stylesheets, JavaScript documents, media files and other resources. Instances of the MiniApp package are used for MiniApp distribution and execution on runtime environments (MiniApp user agent).

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.
