Catalog service XML
Describes how to create the XML file for bulk importing.
The Optimizely Service API supports the bulk import of catalog data into Optimizely Commerce. For the catalog import and export to work, you need to generate an XML file to be used by the bulk import mechanism.
See Catalog service for the methods to use when importing and exporting catalogs.
Catalog XML file and elements
Generate an XML file named catalog.xml and place it at the root of a zip file to be uploaded.
You can generate the XML file by copying a "template" file here:

Catalog file
The catalog XML file starts with an XML tag followed by the Catalogs element, which holds the key elements, as shown in the following example.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Catalogs Version="1.0">
</Catalogs>
MetaDataScheme element
The MetaDataScheme element lets you add and update meta-classes and meta-fields, as shown in the following example.
<Catalogs Version="1.0">
<MetaDataScheme>
<MetaDataPlusBackup version="1.0">
<MetaClass>
.......
</MetaClass>
<MetaField>
.......
</MetaField>
</MetaDataPlusBackup>
</MetaDataScheme>
........
</Catalogs>
The following example describes the two child element types, MetaClass and MetaField.
