  • Service worker: A service worker is a JavaScript worker that acts as a network proxy in your browser. Your application can communicate with the service worker using the postMessage interface.
  • manifest.json: manifest.json is a JSON file that contains details about the application, as well as details about different assets that the application needs so that it can be saved on any device's home screen...
