Merchant Solutions Integrations: Objinfo XML Version 1
The objinfo.xml file is an export of your store's contents. Most importantly, it contains a listing of your products and product information such as description, caption, pricing, options, URL, and path (the relation between items and sections). The Objinfo.XML feed is updated with each publish of the Store Editor. See the following tables for store and product specific XML.
Note: Objinfo is a legacy format which has been deprecated in favor of the new Catalog.xml format.
