Feature Request: Export tag info as JSON #100

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
I'm very interested in being able to get the mp4 tag information as JSON.

Is this something the developers are willing to entertain?

I'd entertain it, depending on how it was implemented.  Although I have to 
wonder, why not just use the existing mp4 tag retrieval interface and put 
together your own JSON?  Not clear to me what the advantage of having it reside 
in the library other than a nicety for developers?

I could see this being very useful.  In my GUI I could bind the fields to the 
actual atom name, for example, and then my update function would just update 
the JSON string with the values in the GUI.  I then pass that JSON string to 
you and you update all the tags.

It would remove tons of code for one thing (i.e. I just update a string 
directly without 'if' statements to determine proper method call) and also lets 
me ignore whether a field is an 8bit or 32 bit value.  I just write a number to 
the string, and you deal with it properly in the library.
