How to use this developer tool
- Paste the manifest json or load the sample.
- Adjust any options shown below the editor.
- Select Validate Manifest or press Ctrl/Cmd + Enter.
- Review diagnostics before copying or downloading the result.
Validate a web app manifest as JSON and check the fields browsers rely on for installation. Diagnostics cover names, start URL, display mode, colors, scope, and icon sizes without claiming to reproduce a browser installability audit.
The result panel shows the processed manifest json, a concise status, and measurements that describe this specific run.
Warnings identify conditions worth reviewing; they do not replace testing in the browser or service that consumes the output.
The included sample demonstrates a representative input. Running it produces the exact format shown in the output panel, including any relevant diagnostics.
{"name":"Example Tasks","short_name":"Tasks","start_url":"/app/","scope":"/app/","display":"standalone","theme_color":"#7c3aed","background_color":"#ffffff","icons":[{"src":"/icons/icon-192.png","sizes":"192x192","type":"image/png"},{"src":"/icons/icon-512.png","sizes":"512x512","type":"image/png"}]}All parsing and generation happens in the current browser tab. Values are normalized only where the relevant format permits it, and the original input is never uploaded.
Live fetch results, crawler caches, HTTP response headers, and platform-specific acceptance checks are outside this page’s browser-only scope.
Use the labeled sample format shown in the input panel. The parser ignores blank lines but reports missing required values.
Yes. Paste text directly into the editor or load the included sample; processing stays in the browser.
No. The page processes the supplied text locally with browser APIs and makes no network request for its core function.
Review the summary and warnings, then test the output in the browser or platform that will consume it before deployment.
It checks and generates the documented fields, but it does not reproduce crawler caches, browser installability rules, or live server behavior.
