What is Metadata APIs?

Metadata APIs are programming interfaces that allow developers to access and manipulate the metadata of a software system. Metadata describes the data itself, and through these APIs, developers can retrieve, deploy, create, update, or delete metadata components programmatically. This is commonly used for automating deployments, migrating configurations between environments, and building custom development tools. For example, in Salesforce, the Metadata API allows developers to manage customizations like custom objects, fields, page layouts, and Apex code.
