We are trying to create a new manifest format for the Web. It will allow you to define metadata for a web application in one place.
Right now, we are trying to decide how to "inline" the manifest into HTML. Need your feedback.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
...
<meta name="manifest" content='{
"name": "Example",
"url": "/start.html",
"mode": "standalone",
"icons": [{
"src": "icon/lowres",
"density": "1",
"width": "64",
"type": "image/webp"
}, {
"src": "icon/hd",
"density": "2",
"width": "64"
}]
}'>
