SAS Java Metadata Interface is a set of Java classes and interfaces that provides access to the SAS Metadata Server from a Java client. It represents the SAS Open Metadata Architecture objects as Java objects and communicates through the SAS Open Metadata Interface.

Note, the static version (represented by the com.sas.metadata package) of the Java Metadata Interface has been deprecated in 9.3. All usage of this interface should go through the com.sas.metadata.remote package for both single-user and multi-user applications.
