💖 Image::...::OOXML — the whole vibe 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for Image::ExifTool::OOXML (you'll also see it written as Image::...::OOXML, same thing, don't stress) 🌸 and it is so much less scary than the name makes it look. it's just Perl doing Perl things. let's get into it ✨

🌈 NAME 🌈

Image::ExifTool::OOXML — literally just: Read Office Open XML+ZIP files. that's it. that's the whole name. short, sweet, iconic 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

so here's the tea, and it's a short one:

This module is used by Image::ExifTool

that's it bestie, no flags, no arguments, nothing. this module doesn't get called by you, it gets called by Image::ExifTool. it's giving supporting cast, not main character 😌

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's what's actually going on 💅

this module holds all the definitions that Image::ExifTool needs to pull meta information out of Office Open XML files. yep, that's the extract the metadata mission, and this module is the little dictionary it reads from 📖

and what even are Office Open XML files, you ask? they're the format that Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files use when they get written by Microsoft Office 2007 🫶 and here's the part that absolutely sends me — they're essentially ZIP archives of XML files. like. your entire document? a zip full of xml. that's the format. no cap 😭✨
