Windows metadata reader

The windows-metadata crate provides a fast reader for Windows metadata files based on the ECMA-335 file format.

• Getting started
• Samples
• Releases

Start by adding the following to your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies.windows-metadata]
version = "0.56"

Read metadata as needed:

use windows_metadata::*;

fn main() {
    let bytes = std::fs::read(r#"C:\Windows\System32\WinMetadata\Windows.Foundation.winmd"#)
        .expect("File not found");

    let file = File::new(bytes).expect("Invalid metadata");

    let reader = Reader::new(vec![file]);

    for def in reader.get_type_def("Windows.Foundation", "IAsyncInfo") {
        println!("{}", def.name());

        for method in def.methods() {
            println!("{}", method.name());
        }
    }
}
