Adobe's Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) is a labeling technology that allows you to embed data about a file, known as metadata, into the file itself. More information on how partners and standards are using XMP is available at the XMP website.
This XMP Toolkit crate implements a subset of the XMP metadata standard. This toolkit allows a desktop or mobile application to:
The XmpMeta struct contains most of the API functions for these features and is the best place to get started in understanding this crate.
We welcome contributions to this project. For information on contributing, providing feedback, and about ongoing work, see Contributing.
The toolkit requires Rust version 1.56.0 or newer.
The toolkit has been tested on the following operating systems:
This crate incorporates the June 2022 version of the C++ Adobe XMP Toolkit SDK.
When a newer version of the C++ XMP Toolkit is incorporated, a new minor (1.x.0) version of this crate will be released.
This API is considered to to be stable; in other words, no further breaking changes are anticipated. For instructions on how to upgrade from various 0.x versions to 1.x, see the Upgrading guide.
Minor, non-breaking additions to the API surface may be added as the few remaining APIs in the C++ XMP_Meta, XMP_Files, TXMPUtils interfaces are exposed. Such changes will trigger minor (1.x.0) version increments when they happen.
