exiftool.js is pretty great, but my understanding is that to date it is not quite as complete as the original.
This package is basically just a wrapper around the exiftool binary simplifying the use of it within node.js code.
I'm definitely not opposed to using exiftool.js, but I created this quite a while ago when exiftool.js was even less complete than it is today, and I needed a very complete exif reading solution for a prod application.
I just added a exiftool-node-stayopen version if interested. https://github.com/crussell42/exiftool-node-stayopen It spawns exiftool in -stay_open mode and so can be used for much faster access over time. I too looked at exiftool.js and needed the more complete capabilities of the perl program.
Is this repo not on npm?
How does this differ from exiftool.js ? Original: https://github.com/mattburns/exiftool.js A node.js specific Fork, adding more Makernotes (and even more planned): https://github.com/redaktor/exiftool.js btw: Both repos have a Coverage Report comparing to the Perl reference implementation. Can we work together here somehow?
