Web App Manifest is a web format commonly identified by .webmanifest. Use the listed signatures, MIME types, and structure notes to validate files beyond the extension.

}Web App Manifest is used for data exchange, imports, exports, parser testing, and validation workflows. Encoding, delimiters, versions, and container structure often change implementation behavior.
Untrusted input is not safe just because the format was detected. Account for parser exceptions, large files, unexpected encodings, and external references.
11 samples help test leading-byte detection, parser errors, upload limits, and download behavior.

The MIME type for Web App Manifest is application/manifest+json.
Web App Manifest files use the .webmanifest extension. The extension is a convention only and does not guarantee the file contents, so combine it with signature and structure checks.
