A bootstrap file is an intermediate file that contains JCR data stored in XML or YAML format.
It is created by an export action, and it can be used to import JCR data into its corresponding workspace.
Bootstrap files can contain any type of data which can be stored in JCR, including both text and binary data.
In Magnolia, bootstrap files typically contain content or configuration data.
