Metadata Decorators are system Metadata which enhance the configuration of something.

Examples

the IsDefault Decorator can be used to set a view to being the default, even if it's not the first one in alphabetical order
the IsShared marks Apps so they can be inherited in other sites
the Requirement marks the IsShared so it's only available if feature & license are enabled

Requirement	13.02	Marks a requirement to use something, like a minimum license	Only for ContentTypes
SaveEmpty	13.00	Marks a ContentType to enable saving even if it has no fields	Only for ContentTypes

Some decorators have no field, as adding the decorator already contains all the information necessary.

By default, 2sxc would not save empty data, so to enable this, these Decorators must themselves have a SaveEmpty Decorator.
