Feed File Format

This is the notation for each submission. Common file formats include:

• JSON
• XML

Note: Walmart will only release JSON feed files.

Each feed file is specific to the submission type, such as item setup, item maintenance, or DSV inventory updates. The feed file will always include a schema definition (JSON or XML) in the relevant guide. The XML schema definition (XSD) file is used to validate the format of the feed file.

The feed file format defines the purpose of each field or attribute within a record. For example, there can be individual fields for item identifier, item name, and so on. The collection of sets of fields for each submission is called a record, such as an item.

Each feed file has specific documentation or a schema that describes its format, structure, and other notes.
