A primitive Go binding for libexif.

go get github.com/gosexy/exif

Install the package with go get and use import to include it in your project.

import "github.com/gosexy/exif"

This is an example on how to read EXIF data from a file:

reader := exif.New()

err := reader.Open("_examples/resources/test.jpg")

if err != nil {
  t.Fatalf("Error: %s", err.Error())
}

for key, val := range exif.Tags {
  fmt.Printf("%s: %s\n", key, val)
}

There is currently no support for writing EXIF data to images, however if someone would care to make the effort it would be great.
