Extracting EXIF data in JSON format

[janko-m]

I've recently found out that you can fetch the `identify -verbose` data in JSON format by doing `convert image.jpg json:`, which is really cool!

Currently I'm fetching EXIF information using `identify -format '%[EXIF:*]'`, since it's much faster than fetching all image data. However, it's not so straightforward to parse the output, because some EXIF data span multiple lines. Is it possible to retrieve only the EXIF data in JSON format?

Is it possible to retrieve only the EXIF data in JSON format?

I don't think so. However, this is quicker:

Code: Select all

convert image.jpg[1x1+0+0] json:

convert image.jpg[1x1+0+0] json:

That's a great solution, and it has about the same speed as fetching the EXIF data directly. Thanks!

This will write only the EXIF data to a file

Code: Select all

convert DSC_0001.JPG -format "%[EXIF:*]" info: > tmp.json
