        <title>Description</title>

        <para>
          Flatpak uses manifest, or recipe, files in a json format to describe how an
          application and its bundled dependencies can be built from sources. The manifest
          gets used by flatpak-builder.
       </para>
    </refsect1>

    <refsect1>
        <title>File format</title>

        <para>
          The top level of the json file describes global attributes of the application, how
          it can be built, and the list of modules that need to be built.
        </para>
