Detailed Description

API for access to the "main" metadata in a file.

TXMPFiles provides the API for the Adobe XMP Toolkit's File Handler component. This provides convenient access to the main, or document level, XMP for a file. The File Handler supports file I/O, the XMP Toolkit Core supports manipulation of the XMP properties. The File Handler is intended to eventually have smart, efficient support for all file formats for which the means to embed XMP is defined in the XMP Specification. Where possible this support will allow injection of XMP where none currently exists, expansion of XMP without regard to existing padding, and reconciliation of the XMP and other legacy forms of metadata.

TXMPFiles is designed for use by clients interested in the metadata and not in the primary file content. The Adobe Bridge application is a typical example. TXMPFiles is not intended to be particulary appropriate for files authored by an application. I.e. those files for which the application has explicit knowledge of the file format.
