Support

The XML format is the oldest of the supported formats and a bit cumbersome to use. Below, we provide a sample skeleton file and explain each of its areas.

Please note that if you are NOT using one of the optional sections (such as <remote> or <s3>) you should NOT include it in your XML file.
