1. A computer-implemented method for dynamically adapting metadata for use with a native data encoding, the computer-implemented method being performed by one or more processors executing computer executable instructions for the computer-implemented method, and the computer-implemented method comprising acts of: accessing one or more portions of metadata in a file containing an object model description of an object model, the metadata comprising metadata represented in an encoding that is expected by a metadata reader configured to read native metadata; determining that at least some of the one or more portions of the accessed metadata are encoded in a non-native encoding; determining one or more metadata modifications required to transform the non-native encoding into native encoding for the at least some of the one or more portions of the accessed metadata; and adapting the accessed portions of metadata from non-native encoding to native encoding according to the determined one or more modifications, such that the native and non-native encodings of the accessed portions of the metadata are contained in the file containing the object model descriptions for the object model, and such that the object model is readable by a native runtime.
