I strongly suggest our own manifest file - such as esoui.json. Parsing is harder to get right and prone to error and/or collision. Plus things change and suddenly you have to update your parser. With our own manifest file we'll hardly run into any troubles later on.

Another option would be to extend the add-on manifest we already use (AddOn.txt) with new tags since the game is pretty loose about its form and syntax. We could still run into trouble in the future, but if you look at what things changed in the past I guess we're safe enough.

**Edit**

One thing that would be great is to be able to drop bbcode and use markdown for the add-on description and changelog.
