Write XMP metadata, step by step.
[dependencies]
xmp-writer = "0.3"XMP is an ISO standard specifying a metadata format for files, originally developed by Adobe. It is either embedded into files (e.g. PDF, JPEG, TIFF) or stored in a separate "side-car" file.
This crate provides a simple API to write XMP metadata. Start by creating
a new XmpWriter, then add entries to it. Finally, call XmpWriter::finish to
get the XMP metadata as a byte vector. Some properties contain a complex data type like a
struct or an array. In this case, the writer returns a new struct that can be used to
write the data. The reference to the struct must be dropped before the writer can be used
again.
use xmp_writer::{LangId, DateTime, XmpWriter};
let mut writer = XmpWriter::new();
writer.creator(["Martin Haug"]);
writer.title([(Some(LangId("de")), "Titel"), (None, "Title")]);
writer.num_pages(3);
writer.pdf_keywords("Keyword1, Keyword2");
writer.description([(None, "Description")]);
writer.date([DateTime::date(2021, 11, 06)]);
let mut colors = writer.colorants();
colors.add_colorant().swatch_name("Red");
colors.add_colorant().swatch_name("Green");
drop(colors);
writer.creator_tool("xmp-writer 0.3.0");
