Don't consider the API stable until a version 1.0 is released\n\n# About\n\ngo-exiftool makes it easy to extract metadata with [exiftool](https://sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/) and work with it in Go.  There are currently no comparable native Go libraries with the breadth and depth of exiftool. In exchange for functionality there is a bit of a performance and a deployment penalty.\n\nFortunately, these are minimal. exiftool only requires perl5, which is available by default on almost every platform. The performance overhead of using an external program can be mitigated in many ways (ie: parallel processing). Using `Stayopen` and `Pool` helper libraries makes metadata extraction pretty fast.  On a 13\" 2017 Macbook Pro I was able to extract metadata for 600 images in about 4 seconds.\n\nThis library was opensourced so others can _not worry about it_ and just work with the metadata. :)\n\n## Notice\n\nThis library is still pretty young. Please use and report any bugs and issues.\n\n## License\n\n```\nMIT License\n\nCopyright (c) 2017 Benson Wong\n\nPermission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy\nof this software and associated documentation files (the \"Software\"), to deal\nin the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights\nto use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell\ncopies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is\nfurnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:\n\nThe above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all\ncopies or substantial portions of the Software.\n\nTHE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED \"AS IS\", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR\nIMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,\nFITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
