| <section name="Commons Imaging: a Pure-Java Image Library"> |
| |
| <subsection name="Introduction"> |
| |
| <p> |
| Apache Commons Imaging, previously known as Apache Commons Sanselan, is a library that |
| reads and writes a variety of image formats, including fast parsing |
| of image info (size, color space, ICC profile, etc.) and metadata. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| This library is pure Java. It's slower, consequently, but perfectly portable. |
| It's easier to use than ImageIO/JAI/Toolkit (Sun/Java's image support), supports |
| more formats (and supports them more correctly). It also provides easy access to metadata. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Imaging was working and was used by a number of projects in production even before version 1.0. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| This project is Open Source; free as in freedom and free as in beer. |
| It is available under the ASF (Apache) License. This is a non-viral Open Source license. |
