Java library for extracting EXIF, IPTC, XMP, ICC and other metadata from image and video files.
/**
* Contains classes for the extraction and modelling of MOV file format metadata.
*
* This QuickTime reader package is handler based. Each QuickTime file is composed in a hierarchical structure that contains atoms.
* Atoms all have the same initial structure, but the rest will change depending upon the atom type. An atom can either be a
* standalone (leaf) atom or a container.
*
* QuickTimeReader will recursively go through all of the atoms using the handlers to know which container/atom should be read.
* A new handler is created when the current container has an immediate ‘handler’ atom. This means that the way the
* containing atoms are read may depend upon that information. This is also very important because some atoms have
* the same name and the only way to determine how to read this data is with the handler.
