Salesforce Metadata
Manage and deploy Salesforce configuration and customizations
Requirements
The Salesforce Metadata API provides programmatic access to an organization's metadata, enabling developers to retrieve, deploy, create, update, and delete customization information such as custom objects, fields, page layouts, workflows, validation rules, and Apex classes. This API is essential for deployment automation, migration between environments (sandbox to production), version control integration, and configuration management. It's commonly used in CI/CD pipelines and by development tools like Salesforce CLI, VS Code extensions, and deployment tools to manage the declarative and programmatic customizations that define an org's structure and behavior.
