   The backup manifest generated by <a class="xref" href="app-pgbasebackup.html" title="pg_basebackup"><span class="refentrytitle"><span class="application">pg_basebackup</span></span></a> is
   primarily intended to permit the backup to be verified using
   <a class="xref" href="app-pgverifybackup.html" title="pg_verifybackup"><span class="refentrytitle"><span class="application">pg_verifybackup</span></span></a>. However, it is
   also possible for other tools to read the backup manifest file and use
   the information contained therein for their own purposes. To that end,
   this chapter describes the format of the backup manifest file.
  </p><p>
   A backup manifest is a JSON document encoded as UTF-8. (Although in
   general JSON documents are required to be Unicode, PostgreSQL permits
   the <code class="type">json</code> and <code class="type">jsonb</code> data types to be used with any
   supported server encoding. There is no similar exception for backup
   manifests.) The JSON document is always an object; the keys that are present
   in this object are described in the next section.
