The mod-manifest.json file is the core configuration file for a TIBCO Spotfire visualization mod. It contains essential metadata that Spotfire uses to register and render the new visualization. The manifest explicitly lists all the files that comprise the mod (e.g., JavaScript, CSS, HTML) within a files array. It also defines the data mapping structure, including the properties of each data axis, such as its name, mode (categorical or continuous), and its intended placement within the visualization, under an axes array. These definitions are crucial for Spotfire to understand the mod's requirements and integrate it into the analysis environment.

B. CORS configuration data: Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is a security policy handled at the server or web application level, not within an individual visualization mod's manifest.

C. Visualizations affected by the mod: A mod defines a new, self-contained visualization type; it does not list or modify other existing visualizations within the Spotfire environment.

1. TIBCO Spotfire® Mods Developer Documentation

"The mod-manifest.json file". This official documentation details the structure of the manifest. It explicitly describes the files property as an "Array of strings with paths to the files that constitute the mod" and the axes property as an "Array of objects

where each object defines an axis." This directly supports answers A and D.

"Add an axis". This section provides a detailed example of defining an axis within the mod-manifest.json

including properties like name

mode

and placement
