Class XmpMetadataReader

Namespace
LMKit.Inspection
Assembly
LM-Kit.NET.dll

Flattens an XMP metadata packet (RDF/XML, ISO 16684-1) into prefix-qualified name/value properties: dc:title, pdf:Producer, xmp:CreateDate, photoshop:AuthorsPosition, plus any custom namespaces the packet declares. This is generic file-metadata extraction - the same category as reading a PDF /Info dictionary or an EXIF block - usable on any packet source: a PDF metadata stream, an image sidecar, or the raw packet a container format embeds.

Remarks

Both RDF property forms are read: the shorthand form (properties carried as attributes of rdf:Description) and the element form (one child element per property). Array containers (rdf:Alt / rdf:Bag / rdf:Seq) join their items with ", "; nested structures join their leaf values. Every emitted value is a single line: whitespace runs (newlines, indentation) collapse to one space. PDF/A extension-schema machinery (pdfaExtension:schemas and the pdfaSchema / pdfaProperty / pdfaType / pdfaField structs inside it) describes the packet's own vocabulary rather than the document, so it is never emitted; pdfaid:* (the conformance identifier) is a real fact and is kept. The parse is XXE-safe (DTDs prohibited, no resolver) and never throws on content: absent, malformed, or fact-free input yields an empty list.

Methods
