Class UnspecifiedTag

java.lang.Object
com.thebuzzmedia.exiftool.core.UnspecifiedTag
All Implemented Interfaces:
Tag
public final class UnspecifiedTag extends Object implements Tag
Class that can represent any tag, not just the standard tags.

Since the type of value is unknown, typed parsing is not possible, and the tag does not know whether multiple values are expected or not. Consequently, when parsing, it returns a String[] regardless of whether the tag will ever have multiple values. Further parsing is then up to the caller.
