Pls develop pure javascript version without child_process

Hi Nathan, I'd very much like to use your code in my firefox extension. Unfortunately, I don't know how to convert your node.js version to a pure js (not for node.js) version. I'm guessing the use of child_process would have to be omitted. Would you care to help? Thanks in advance.

Hi @odebroqueville, this library is only a wrapper around an already existing tool called exiftool. Unfortunately, it's not very likely that this library would be moved away from wrapping that tool. Check out this for a possible alternative to what you want.

Exiftool is opensource: https://github.com/exiftool/exiftool It might be doable to compile it to WebAssembly.
