Aura Helper XML Definitions Module

Module to get any Salesforce Metadata XML Files Definition to process Metadata files properly. Yoy can get all Raw definitions, a Raw definition for a specific type or get All or specific definitions for a specific api version. For example, yo can get all Salesforce XML Definitions for API 45.0 or get the Custom Object XML File Definition for API 35.0.

The difference between the XML definition and the raw XML definition is that the raw definition is not processed, it returns the entire XML information. The XML definitions return the XML definition processed for a specific API version, omitting everything that does not correspond to the indicated version.

Support up to API 53.0
