Hey everyone,
does anyone know how it might be possible to use exiftool with node.js? Maybe there are already a few attempts to do so, but I haven't found anything so far.
Thanks

Shouldn't be too difficult. As long as exiftool is installed in a location where it is globally accessible. You can export the meta data in json by using the json flag.
exiftool -json path/to/image.jpg
Here are some examples on how to run shell commands in node.
