Manifest

The Manifest is a crucial component in web development, specifically for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). It is a JSON file that provides metadata about the application, allowing it to be installed on a user's device and appear as a standalone app.

By defining properties such as the app's name, icons, theme colors, and display modes, the Manifest enables a more app-like experience for users. It also allows developers to control how the app is launched, whether in a browser tab or as a separate window.

Additionally, the Manifest facilitates offline access, push notifications, and other advanced features. It plays a vital role in enhancing user engagement and overall user experience in the web ecosystem.
