app.json enables developers to define their applications' details, setup configurations and runtime environments in a structured way. Today, we are excited to introduce the app.json manifest. Often, there are several steps to go from your code or other samples and templates that you find in repositories online, to a running application that you can continue to work on. Setting up applications is error-prone, time consuming and interruptive to the development flow.

Developers want to spend less time setting up applications and start working with the code sooner.
