XMP Core for Kotlin Multiplatform

JVM Android iOS Windows Linux macOS WASM WASI

This library is a port of Adobe's XMP SDK to Kotlin Multiplatform by Ashampoo.

It's part of Ashampoo Photo Organizer.

Installation

implementation("com.ashampoo:xmpcore:1.6.1")

How to use

The library has been designed as a drop-in replacement for users who previously employed XMP Core Java. Therefore, all the documentation applicable to the Java SDK also pertains to this library. However, please note that we have made the decision to remove the functionality for reading from and writing to ByteArray and InputStreams, as we believe it is unnecessary.

Sample code

val originalXmp: String = "... your XMP ..."

val xmpMeta: XMPMeta = XMPMetaFactory.parseFromString(originalXmp)

val xmpSerializeOptions =
    SerializeOptions()
        .setOmitXmpMetaElement(false)
        .setOmitPacketWrapper(false)
        .setUseCompactFormat(true)
        .setSort(true)

val newXmp = XMPMetaFactory.serializeToString(xmpMeta, xmpSerializeOptions)

Check out the Kotlin JVM example project.

For usage in Java projects check out the Java example project.

Also see the unit tests ReadXmpTest and WriteXmpTest to learn more about reading and manipulating data.

Migration hint

If you have previously utilized the official XMP Core Java library available on Maven Central, please make sure to update your imports from com.adobe.internal.xmp to com.ashampoo.xmp.
