File object | Wordbee

The files collection is a container of files. The purpose of this page is to describe the JSON format and properties of each “file”.

A typical file object:

{
    "name": "myfile.xliff",
    "ext": ".xliff",
    "translate": false,
    "parserId": null,
    "domain": null,
    "parsers": null,
    "pageCount": 2,
    "sizeKB": 14,
    "comments": "no comments",
    "ok": true,
    "error": null,
    "errorLink": null
}
