Get a String Property Value from XMP

See more XMP Examples

Demonstrates how to open a JPG or TIF image file, access the XMP metadata, and fetch the value of a string property, such as the Location. Go

    success := false

    // This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    xmp := chilkat.NewXmp()

    // Load a JPG or TIF image file.
    // Sample JPG's with XMP metadata may be found at:
    // http://www.chilkatsoft.com/testData/xmp/sample1.jpg
    // http://www.chilkatsoft.com/testData/xmp/sample2.jpg
    // http://www.chilkatsoft.com/testData/xmp/sample3.jpg

        return
    }

    fmt.Println("Num embedded XMP docs: ", xmp.NumEmbedded())

    // Assuming there is at least one, get the 1st.
    // (There is typically never more than one, but theoretically it's possible.)
