Detailed Description

Base class for reading metadata from image files (JPEG, PNG, GIF).

ImageMetadata provides a polymorphic interface for accessing various types of image metadata (EXIF, XMP, IPTC, comments). Different metadata formats are handled by derived classes that parse format-specific data.

The getFromImage() factory method automatically detects and extracts all available metadata types from an image file, returning them as an array of ImageMetadata objects.

Supported metadata formats:

• EXIF: Camera settings, GPS, timestamps
• XMP: Adobe extensible metadata
• IPTC: Press/journalism metadata
• Comment: Simple text comments

Usage:

FileInputStream stream(imageFile);
OwnedArray<ImageMetadata> metadata;
 
if (ImageMetadata::getFromImage(stream, metadata))
{
    for (auto* meta : metadata)
    {
        DBG("Metadata type: " + meta->getType());
        StringPairArray data = meta->getAllMetadata();
        for (auto& key : data.getAllKeys())
            DBG(key + ": " + data[key]);
    }
}
