Abstract
In some examples, dependency-based metadata retrieval and update may include receiving a query for an update of metadata associated with an application. The query may include a previous version associated with a previous synchronization of the metadata. Alternatively or additionally, the query may include a metadata tree associated with the metadata. Dependency based metadata retrieval and update may further include generating, based on the query and a dependency tree, a response to include the update that includes a modification to a metadata fragment of the metadata. The dependency tree may include a parent and child relationship between each of a plurality of metadata fragments including the metadata fragment, and may further include versions associated with the plurality of metadata fragments.
