Exiv2::XmpData Class Reference

A container for XMP data. This is a top-level class of the Exiv2 library. More...

#include <xmp_exiv2.hpp>

Public Types
typedef XmpMetadata::iterator	iterator
	XmpMetadata iterator type.
typedef XmpMetadata::const_iterator	const_iterator
	XmpMetadata const iterator type.

Public Member Functions
	XmpData ()
	Default constructor.
Manipulators
Xmpdatum &	operator[] (const std::string &key)
	Returns a reference to the Xmpdatum that is associated with a particular key. If XmpData does not already contain such an Xmpdatum, operator[] adds object Xmpdatum(key). More...
int	add (const XmpKey &key, const Value *value)
	Add an Xmpdatum from the supplied key and value pair. This method copies (clones) the value. More...
int	add (const Xmpdatum &xmpdatum)
	Add a copy of the Xmpdatum to the XMP metadata. More...
iterator	erase (XmpData::iterator pos)
void	eraseFamily (XmpData::iterator &pos)
	Delete the Xmpdatum at iterator position pos and update pos erases all following keys from the same family See: https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/issues/521.
void	clear ()
	Delete all Xmpdatum instances resulting in an empty container.
void	sortByKey ()
	Sort metadata by key.
iterator	begin ()
	Begin of the metadata.
iterator	end ()
	End of the metadata.
iterator	findKey (const XmpKey &key)
	Find the first Xmpdatum with the given key, return an iterator to it.

Accessors
const_iterator	begin () const
	Begin of the metadata.
const_iterator	end () const
	End of the metadata.
const_iterator	findKey (const XmpKey &key) const
	Find the first Xmpdatum with the given key, return a const iterator to it.
bool	empty () const
	Return true if there is no XMP metadata.
long	count () const
	Get the number of metadata entries.
bool	usePacket () const
	are we to use the packet?
bool	usePacket (bool b)
	set usePacket_
void	setPacket (const std::string &xmpPacket)
	setPacket
const std::string &	xmpPacket () const

Detailed Description

A container for XMP data. This is a top-level class of the Exiv2 library.

Provide high-level access to the XMP data of an image:

• read XMP information from an XML block
• access metadata through keys and standard C++ iterators
• add, modify and delete metadata
• serialize XMP data to an XML block

Examples

exiv2json.cpp, xmpparse.cpp, xmpprint.cpp, and xmpsample.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

add() [1/2]

int Exiv2::XmpData::add

(

const Xmpdatum &

xmpdatum

)

Add a copy of the Xmpdatum to the XMP metadata.

Returns

0 if successful.

add() [2/2]

int Exiv2::XmpData::add	(	const XmpKey &	key,
		const Value *	value
	)

Add an Xmpdatum from the supplied key and value pair. This method copies (clones) the value.

Returns

0 if successful.

Examples

xmpsample.cpp.

operator[]()

Xmpdatum& Exiv2::XmpData::operator[]

(

const std::string &

key

)

Returns a reference to the Xmpdatum that is associated with a particular key. If XmpData does not already contain such an Xmpdatum, operator[] adds object Xmpdatum(key).

Note

Since operator[] might insert a new element, it can't be a const member function.
