Description:

A project to extract Exif and Iptc image meta-data from media
such as JPEG files.

What began as a simple utility to extract the date-taken from a
digital still camera (DSC) Jpeg file is now a general metadata
extraction framework. Support currently exists for Exif and Iptc
metadata segments. Extraction of these segments is provided for
Jpeg files. It is hoped that individuals with specific needs
will extend the framework by adding their own classes.

Information extracted by this library might be of use to you if
you're writing an image browser, image categoriser, photo album,
etc... I started coding this library for use in my own photo
gallery.

This metadata library is available with Java source code for usage
in the public domain.
