A library to parse Exif, IPTC and XMP metadata from an image.

Usage

[](#usage)

Load an image in the parser:

Then depending on the type of metadata you want to fetch, call the appropriate method.

```
$parser->readExif();
$parser->getMetaData()['exif'];
```

```
$parser->readIptc();
$parser->getMetaData()['iptc'];
```

```
$parser->readXmp();
$parser->getMetaData()['xmp'];
```
