<h2>Converting metadata files</h2>
<p>By default, new API metadata files are created in version 2.0 format. This format has some differences compared to the earlier 1.0 version syntax.</p>
<p>To convert a version 1.0 metadata file into version 2.0: click the <b>Convert to v.2.0</b> button.</p>
<p><img src="images/convert.png"></p>
<p>There are only a few differences between the data formats. In version 2.0:</p>
<ul>
<li><i>Subsystem</i> is called <i>Collection</i>.</li>
<li>For category, <i>SDK</i> and <i>Domain</i> are replaced by <i>Public</i> and <i>Platform</i>, respectively.</li>
<li>Extended SDKs are not supported.</li>
</ul>
<p>The naming pattern of the file itself is still the same. For example, if the API directory is <i>phone_parser_api</i>, the metadata filename is <i>phone_parser_api.metaxml</i>.</p>
