Manifests are JSON-formatted files that contain the configuration for Zoom Apps. 
With a manifest, you can use the Marketplace build flow or an API to create a general app with a predefined configuration or to adjust the configuration of an existing general app. 
Using the manifest tool can save you significant time when creating multiple apps with similar configurations.
