RExif is a native Rust crate, written to extract EXIF data from JPEG and TIFF images.
The crate also contains a sample binary called 'rexiftool' that accepts files as arguments and prints the EXIF data. It gives a rough idea on how to use the crate.
I am still filling in the implementation of most EXIF tags. Merge requests, comments and criticisms about coding style, information about uncovered EXIF tags, sample images that are not parsed correctly -- in short, any sort of feedback is welcome!

match rexif::parse_file(&file_name) {
Ok(exif) => {
println!("{} {} exif entries: {}", file_name,
exif.mime, exif.entries.len());
for entry in &exif.entries {
println!(" {}: {}",
entry.tag_readable,
entry.value_more_readable);
}
},
Err(e) => {
print!("Error in {}: {} {}", &file_name,
Error::description(&e), e.extra).unwrap();
}
}
The included tool refixtool
accepts image file names as command-line
parameters and prints EXIF data for them. The src/main.rs
file is a
good starting point to learn how to use the crate, then take a look into
the ExifEntry
struct.
