How to read/write xmp metadata in c# or c++

Question

I am trying to manipulate xmp metadata of images. I can do it in c# or c++.

How can I do this? Is there any library that I can use?

Answer 1

For c++, you can use the latest XMP SDK. Have a look at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/xmp.html for instructions to get latest source and documentation for building and using it.

Answer 2

A C# port of Adobe's XmpCore library for Java is available here:

If you know the Java/C++ API, it's basically identical except the API looks like a .NET API, with .NET conventions.
