Interface MetadataResourceFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

EXIFMetadataResourceFactory, ID3MetadataResourceFactory, JMFMetadataResourceFactory, PNGMetadataResourceFactory, QuickTimeMetadataResourceFactory

public interface MetadataResourceFactory

Factory API for creating MetadataResource instances.

This factory API is designed so that different, related metadata standards can be instantiated by a common factory. For example a single ID3 factory can be implemented to return different MetadataResource implementations for ID3v1, ID3v1.1, ID3v2, ID3v2.2, etc.
