XMP Toolkit bindings for Rust

CI Latest Version codecov

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.

Key features

This XMP Toolkit crate implements a subset of the XMP metadata standard. This toolkit allows a desktop or mobile application to:

  • Parse XMP metadata found in many file formats.
  • Inspect and modify the XMP data model.
  • Embed and update XMP metadata in many file formats.

Contributions and feedback

We welcome contributions to this project. For information on contributing, providing feedback, and about ongoing work, see Contributing.

Requirements

The toolkit requires Rust version 1.56.0 or newer.

Supported platforms

The toolkit has been tested on the following operating systems:

  • Windows
  • MacOS (Intel and Apple silicon)
  • Ubuntu Linux

C++ XMP Toolkit

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When a newer version of the C++ XMP Toolkit is incorporated, a new minor (0.x.0) version of this crate will be released.

Upgrading from earlier versions

This version of the crate is a 1.0 release candidate. Please see the API stabilization PR (#151) and add feedback there as appropriate.

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 the current version, see the Upgrading guide.

Minor, non-breaking additions to the API surface may be added as the few remaining APIs in the XMP_Meta, XMP_Files, TXMPUtils interfaces are exposed. Such changes will trigger minor (0.x.0) version increments when they happen.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
xmp_toolkit = "0.7.5"
