Getting started
Metadata Editor is a tool for creating and editing metadata for Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). The properties that can be edited include libraries, release, attributes and extended SDK information.
Metadata are contained in files named as <apiname>.metaxml. For example, the filename for phone_parser_api would be phone_parser_api.metaxml.
- Before you can edit metadata files, you need to have a project for them in the Carbide.c++ environment. To do this, either:
- To work with the files, do either of the following:
- If your project does not contain any .metaxml files,
create a new metadata file.
- If your project already contains a .metaxml file, open it by double-clicking
in the Carbide.c++ Project Explorer, or right-click the name and select
Open/Open with > Metadata Editor.
- You can then edit the metadata files by changing, for example, libraries, release, attributes and extended SDK values. Metadata Editor automatically validates the structure of the XML when you save the file.
