+<h2>API metadata file</h2>
+<p>A metadata file is used to provide information about an Application Programming Interface (API). Metadata files contain the following information of an API, as shown in the example below:</p>
+<p><code>
+<?xml version="1.0" ?><br>
+<api id="16bdb6fdf38e8ced9e907a4eea1f68c5" dataversion="1.0"><br>
+ <name>Phone Parser API</name><br>
+ <description>This API is used to parse and validate phone numbers.</description><br>
+ <type>c++</type><br>
+ <subsystem>commonservices</subsystem><br>
+ <libs><br>
+ <lib name="CommonEngine.lib" /><br>
+ </libs><br>
+ <release category="sdk" sinceversion="2.0"/><br>
+ <attributes><br>
+ <htmldocprovided>yes</htmldocprovided><br>
+ <adaptation>no</adaptation><br>
+ </attributes><br>
+</api>
+</code></p>
+<p>Metadata files are identified by the extension <i>.metaxml</i>. The name of the file comes from the API name and should be the same as the API directory name. For example, if the API directory is <i>phone_parser_api</i>, the corresponding metadata file name should be <i>phone_parser_api.metaxml</i>. The file is located directly under the API's own directory.</p>
+<p><b>Tip:</b> These files can be created and edited in the Carbide.c++ development environment with the <i>Metadata Editor</i> tool. You can start the tool from the <b>Carbide > Metadata Editor</b> menu.</p>
