</ul>
</li>
<li>Other Features:<ul>
<li>Easy to use command-line utility to manipulate metadata.</li>
<li>Command-line utility provides a rich scripting interface.</li>
<li>Library and utility provide tools to debug, pipe metadata and much more.</li>
<li>Simple interface to extract Exif thumbnails.</li>
<li>Support to extract, change and remove ICC profiles.</li>

<h4 class="margin-top-m">Future plans</h4>
<p>These are high-level goals for the Exiv2 library, see the
<a href="https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/projects">projects</a>
for information about future projects.
</p>
<ul>
<li>A stable API</li>
<li>A unified metadata container.</li>
<li>Additional image formats such as BigTiff.</li>
<li>Better lens recognition.</li>
<li>More makernote support.</li>

To learn how to use the Exiv2 library in your own programs, start by reading the
short <a href="doc/index.html">API documentation intro</a> and study some of the examples here.
Refer to the <a href="metadata.html">metadata taglists</a> for supported tags and default types
and the <a href="doc/namespaceExiv2.html">API documentation</a> for the interface.

To get started with the Exiv2 command line utility, run it with the <em>-h</em>
parameter from a terminal or cmd shell:
<code><a title="Exiv2 usage" href="sample.html#usage">exiv2 -h</a></code> and
study the samples here.
For details, read the <a href="manpage.html" title="Exiv2 man page">manual page</a>.

<p>The Exiv2 project is registered with
<a href="https://www.openhub.net/p/exiv2">Open Hub</a>, a service that helps track and compare Open Source projects.
Among other things, the good people at Open Hub provide tools for evaluating Open Source projects and communities.
Their analysis is based on data gathered from the project's source code repositories. Below are the Open Hub "factoids"
for Exiv2. Use these to explore what Open Hub has to say on the state of our project.
