pb-imgsize

Fast JPEG and PNG image metadata reader in Rust.

This Rust library provides an efficient way to extract image dimensions (width and height) and comments embedded in JPEG and PNG image files without needing to decode the entire image. The primary focus of this library is to perform these operations as quickly as possible.

Features

• Supports JPEG and PNG image formats.
• Reads image dimensions (width and height).
• Extracts comments from image data.
• Lightweight and efficient, designed for speed.

Installation

Add pb-imgsize to your Cargo.toml file:

toml [dependencies] pb-imgsize = "0.1.0"

Usage

Include the library in your Rust file:

rust use pb_imgsize as imgsize;

Reading from an Image File

To read metadata from an image file, use the read_file function:

rust let metadata = imgsize::read_file("path/to/image.jpg").unwrap();

Reading from a Byte Slice

To read metadata from a byte slice, use the read_bytes function:

rust let data = include_bytes!("path/to/image.jpg"); let metadata = imgsize::read_bytes(data).unwrap();

Both functions return an ImageMetadata struct containing the width, height and comments fields.

rust pub struct ImageMetadata { pub width: u32, pub height: u32, pub comments: Vec<Vec<u8>>, }

Example

Here's an example that demonstrates how to use pb-imgsize to read metadata from a JPEG file:

```rust use pb_imgsize as imgsize;

fn main() -> Result<(), imgsize::Error> { let metadata = imgsize::readfile("path/to/image.jpg")?; println!("Width: {}", metadata.width); println!("Height: {}", metadata.height); for comment in metadata.comments { println!("Comment: {}", String::fromutf8_lossy(&comment)); } Ok(()) } ```

Error Handling

The library defines an Error enum that encapsulates the various errors that can occur when trying to read image data. There are specific error types for I/O errors and decoding errors.

Testing

To run the tests:

bash cargo test
