EasyEXIF is a tiny, lightweight C++ library that parses basic information out of JPEG files. It uses only the std::string library and is otherwise pure C++. You pass it the binary contents of a JPEG file, and it parses several of the most important EXIF fields for you. Why use this library? Include one .h file, compile one .cc file, and that's it.
