Save - Export metadata documents

After form compilation you have the option to save or export the metadata document to your local storage.

Export as .json

This option allows to have validated JSON documents that can also be only partially filled (in this last case the validation is done on compiled fields only). The document exported in this manner can be readily reused to populate a new schema using the Load or Merge .json document options during the compilation stage (refer to this link ). Alternatively, if the document is fully filled out, it can be uploaded to MetaStore through the MetaStore GUI.

Save as .jme

This feature enables you to save the JSON document, whether partially or fully filled, in a proprietary format denoted by the .jme extension. Opt for this choice when you wish to save your progress and continue working at a later time. Essentially, the .jme file is a .json file supplemented with extra information about the schema being filled. This information is utilized by the Metadata Editor to ensure proper resumption of your work.
