Salesforce Features
Metadata API
More Power and Flexibility to Configure Salesforce
Developer, Enterprise, and Unlimited Edition
- Interact with setup configuration as XML metadata files
- Migrate configuration changes between Salesforce environments
- Create your own tools for managing Salesforce metadata
The Force.com Metadata API opens the door to new ways of interacting with setup and customization information, resulting in a better developer experiences, team development systems, and change management processes. Spring ’08 provides metadata access to a subset of platform features, including custom fields, custom objects, profiles, Apex code, Visualforce pages, and s-controls.
- Production Write Support: Previous versions of the Force.com metadata API allowed only read access to setup information such as schemas, tabs, and profiles in production orgs. With the metadata API, you can also write changes to those objects back to the database, so you can interact with instance configuration beyond the current setup experience.
- Metadata Text Support: You can also interact with metadata as a set of XML-based files, so you can work with a Force.com application or Salesforce customization outside of Salesforce.
