rdjpgcom v1.0.0

rdjpgcom.js

Read text comments from JPEG files using pure JavaScript. Inspired by the CLI tool of the same name, included in the Independet JPEG Group's jpegtran.

Installation

npm install rdjpgcom

Usage

import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises'
import { rdjpgcom } from 'rdjpgcom'

let buffer = await readFile('image.jpg')
    
// To read all valid UTF-8 comments:
let comments = rdjpgcom(buffer)

// You can pass a different encoding as an option.

// To see all comment segments and their raw `payload` buffers use:
for (let segment of rdjpgcom(buffer, { encoding: null })) {
  segment.payload
}
