Enabling this option allows the application’s JSON definition to be automatically written to a file named your-app.json . This ensures that the JSON definition of the application is easily accessible and can be utilized as needed.

In Neptune DXP - Open Edition, there are two distinct code bases used for compiling the application definition into actual code that is served to the client. Enabling this feature ensures that the application is compiled using the new compiler, offering the benefits and enhancements provided by the updated compilation process.
