Apache Sanselan is a pure Java library for reading and Writing Image formats. It has recently graduated from Incubator and is now a proud member of Apache commons proper.

In this article we shall see how to get Image Information using Apache Sanselan.

Let’s see how the code looks

public static void main(String[] args) {
String imageFile = args[0];
System.out.println("Image File = "+imageFile);
try {
ImageInfo imageInfo = Sanselan.getImageInfo(new File(imageFile));
System.out.println(imageInfo);
} catch (ImageReadException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

Most of the work is done in single line

getImageInfo() API returns the ImageInfo details. The toString() method of ImageInfo class prints the image information in a formatted fashion.

Running the program on one the images shipped with Sanselan source produced this output

The ImageInfo class can be used programtically to arrange files, or for other purposes as well
