Extracts XMP data from buffers or files.
A breaking change fork of https://github.com/shkuznetsov/xmp-reader. This is meant to be more general.
To install the module add it to your project's package.json dependencies or install manually running:
npm install https://github.com/fromkeith/xmp-reader
Then pull it in your code:
const xmpReader = require('xmp-reader');Now you can either feed it a file name:
const data = await xmpReader.fromFile('/path/to/file.jpg');Or a buffer, eg from Sharp:
const metadata = await sharp('/path/to/file.jpg').metadata();
const data = await xmpReader.fromBuffer(metadata.xmp);Output will look something like that, depending on your metadata:
{
"raw": ..., // raw XML data
// list of XMP objects.
"xmp": [
{
"MicrosoftPhoto":
{
"Rating": 50
}
},
{
"dc":
{
"description": "Title",
"subject":
[
"tag1",
"tag2"
],
"title": "Title"
}
},
{
"MicrosoftPhoto":
{
"LastKeywordXMP":
[
"tag1",
"tag2"
]
}
},
{
"xmp":
{
"Rating": 3
}
}
]
}Results can also be flattened for easier access. This merges together all the similar objects.
xmpReader.flatten(data.xmp)
// returns
{
"dc": {
"description": "Title",
"subject":
[
"tag1",
"tag2"
],
"title": "Title"
},
"MicrosoftPhoto": {
"Rating": 50,
"LastKeywordXMP": [
"tag1",
"tag2"
]
},
"xmp":
{
"Rating": 3
}
}
