MNX specification

The MNX metadata object

Type: Dictionary

Holds technical MNX metadata about the document, including the MNX version.

Keys:

Name	Type	Required?	Description
"version"	version number object	Yes	The MNX version number, as an integer. MNX uses simple integers for version numbers, as opposed to strings or multi-part version numbers ("3.1"). Each release of MNX increments the version number. Because MNX aims to be backward compatible — i.e., an older MNX version should always be openable by future software — version numbers are mostly useful for determining which new MNX features are available.
