What is web manifest? How can it be used in website?

Question

Do anyone please explain this in simple language?

Answer 1

I hope that is what you are looking for :)

The web app manifest is a simple JSON file that tells the browser about your web application and how it should behave when 'installed' on the user's mobile device or desktop. Having a manifest is required by Chrome to show the Add to Home Screen prompt.[1]
