An oversized CR3 candidate is skipped without ending the search, repeated child IFD references count once toward the pending cap, deflated chunks lay their rows out as the unpacker reads them (16-bit words, 32-bit word alignment), the tile grid's nominal size is checked against the image before anything is decoded, chunk grouping saturates, and the XMP flattened-key budget is document-wide. The JPEG-header test now parses a real header.
lightcraft-meta (L1)
Photo metadata: EXIF, XMP (read + write), IPTC-IIM, and the containers that carry them.
API
| Function | Purpose |
|---|---|
read_exif(&[u8]) -> Metadata |
TIFF-structured Exif block (whole TIFF/DNG/raw file, or JPEG APP1 payload with/without Exif\0\0). try_read_exif reports header errors. |
from_tiff(&Tiff) -> Metadata |
Same, from an already parsed stream (used by lightcraft-raw). |
embedded(&[u8]) -> Embedded |
Sniffs JPEG / PNG / WebP / TIFF / PSD / PSB and returns the Exif, XMP (+ extended XMP), ICC and IPTC blocks. PSD/PSB EXIF resource 1058 and XMP resource 1060 are read from the bounded image-resource section without decoding pixels. jpeg_segments, png_chunks, webp_chunks are the per-container walkers. |
parse_xmp(&str) -> Result<XmpData> |
Metadata + the opaque lc:settings JSON + every property (prefix:name, structs flattened as a:b/c:d). |
write_xmp(&Metadata, Option<&str>) -> String |
Complete <?xpacket?> packet; the second argument is LightCraft's full develop settings JSON. |
parse_iptc(&[u8]) -> Metadata |
IIM record 2: title (2:5), keywords (2:25), by-line (2:80), copyright (2:116), caption (2:120), date/time created (2:55/2:60). |
extract(&[u8]) -> Metadata |
Everything for a whole file. Precedence: EXIF → IPTC fills gaps → XMP overrides user fields (rating, label, title, caption, artist, copyright, keywords, GPS) and fills the rest. |
try_extract(&[u8]) -> Result<Metadata, ExtractError> |
Like extract, but reports malformed PSD/PSB headers, image-resource sections, or embedded EXIF/XMP structure (including duplicate EXIF/XMP resources) so callers can fail closed when location absence cannot be established. Other formats remain best-effort. |
Metadata carries camera (make, model, serial, software), lens (make, model, serial, specification), capture
(date-time with UTC offset and milliseconds, exposure time, f-number, ISO incl. extended ISO, focal length and
35 mm equivalent, flash, exposure bias, program, metering, white balance), orientation, GPS, dimensions and the
user fields (artist, copyright, title, caption, keywords, hierarchical keywords, rating −1…5, colour label).
XMP namespaces
Written: dc, xmp, photoshop, exif, exifEX, tiff, lr (hierarchicalSubject) and ours,
lc = http://ns.lightcraft.app/lc/1.0/ (lc:settings, an opaque JSON string). Reading canonicalises
prefixes by namespace URI, handles attribute and element forms, rdf:Seq/Bag/Alt (x-default first),
rdf:parseType="Resource" and nested-description structs, predefined and numeric entities. Nesting depth
and node count are limited.
An explicitly foreign namespace using a recognized prefix (for example lc or xmp) cannot supply
recognized properties. Its keys use Q{hex-encoded namespace URI}local in properties and values;
hex encoding keeps / reserved for struct paths. Other unknown prefixes keep their existing QName keys.
Merging preserves the original foreign XML rather than writing these opaque keys into the packet.
The parser and merge scanner each cap generated opaque names at 8 MiB per packet, returning TooComplex
if repeated use of a long namespace URI would exceed that budget.
Robustness
No panics on malformed input: proptests feed random bytes to every container walker and random text to the XMP parser; truncation tests cut a sample JPEG at every byte and exercise truncated PSD/PSB headers and image-resource records with hostile declared lengths. PSD/PSB XMP resources require valid UTF-8; trailing NUL padding is trimmed after validation.
