Cache manifest in HTML5

<p>The cache manifest in HTML5 was a software storage feature which provided the ability to access a <a href="/facts/Web_application/BLkF3BIN">web application</a> even without a network connection. It became part of the <a href="/facts/W3C/lGWmhF6M">W3C</a> Recommendation on 28 October 2014.
</p><p>Since 2021, this technology is no longer widely available. It was removed from Firefox 85, and disabled by default in Chrome 84 and removed in Chrome 95. Using any of the offline Web application features at this time is highly discouraged and use of <a href="/facts/Progressive_Web_Apps/IpkL2Yhb">service workers</a> is recommended instead. Cache manifests are distinct from <a href="/facts/Web_application_manifest/IpkL2Yhb">web application manifests</a>, a JSON-based file format which is part of the <a href="/facts/Progressive_web_app/IpkL2Yhb">progressive web app</a> technology, and as of 2023 is currently active and going through the standardization process at the <a href="/facts/W3C/lGWmhF6M">W3C</a>.
