Source map v3 (external, with sourcesContent)
A complete v3 source map for the minified bundle: two sources with their full original text inlined in sourcesContent, two names, and five VLQ-encoded mapping segments. For testing source-map decoders and stack-trace symbolication without any network fetch of the originals.

Testing contract
Expected to pass- Scenario
- Decode the mappings and symbolicate a frame at generated line 1, column 6.
- Expected result
- The frame resolves to src/greet.js line 1 column 8 with name "greet"; both original files are recoverable from sourcesContent alone.
What is a .json file?
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, text-based data-interchange format representing objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null. It is language-independent, human-readable, and the dominant format for web APIs and configuration. It requires a single well-formed root value.
How to use this file
Use an example JSON file to test parsers and serializers, schema validation, Unicode and number-precision handling, and API request or response processing.
How to use this file for testing
“Source map v3 (external, with sourcesContent)” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Web assets, Code parsing, JSON parsing. Favicons, web app manifests, service workers, robots and sitemap files, Open Graph images, and .well-known resources — for testing web tooling, crawlers, PWA installers, and asset pipelines.
Documented properties for this file: seed 70400. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.
Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.
Web-platform fixtures are standards-compliant samples against fictional example.com data. Test crawlers, PWA installers and manifest validators, favicon/icon pipelines, service-worker registration, or .well-known parsers against the documented structure.

- jsonapple-app-site-associationAn Apple app-site-association file declaring Universal Links, web credentials, and app clips — normally served without an extension at /.well-known/, for testing AASA parsers (shown here as .json).

- jsonassetlinks.json (Android)An Android Digital Asset Links file granting app-link handling to a package via a certificate fingerprint (sample) — for testing assetlinks.json parsers and App Links verification.

- jsonFeed twin - JSON Feed 1.1The third twin: the same four articles as JSON Feed 1.1, using the 1.1 `authors` array rather than the 1.0 singular form, with ids, URLs, summaries, HTML bodies and timestamps identical to the RSS and Atom files. The reference output for an XML-to-JSON feed converter.

- jsonhost-meta.json (JRD, JSON form)The JSON Resource Descriptor twin of the XRD host-meta: identical subject, alias, expiry, property and three links, expressed with lower-case JSON member names. For testing XRD-to-JRD conversion against a known answer.
