When deploying OmniStudio components using the Vlocity Build Tool, what is the typical file format that contains the metadata and definition for a component like a Data Mapper?
The correct answer is JSON. Vlocity Build Tool, also called the OmniStudio Build Tool in newer documentation, exports and deploys OmniStudio/Vlocity DataPacks in a source-control-friendly structure. A Data Mapper, FlexCard, OmniScript, or Integration Procedure is represented as DataPack metadata, and the component definition is stored in JSON-based files, while job or manifest configuration can use YAML. DOCX is a document format and has no role in OmniStudio deployment metadata. CSV can hold tabular data, not a full component definition. XML is used in some Salesforce metadata contexts, but DataPacks for OmniStudio deployment are not typically represented as XML component files. Therefore, JSON is the correct deployment metadata format.
