Working with interpreted values

Sometimes it’s not really obvious what a particular metadata property is supposed to mean. A good example of such vague property is a numeric flag or enumeration. From release to release, we add interpreters to metadata properties extracted from various formats. To get a full list of properties having interpreted values for a particular file please use the below example:

advanced_usage.WorkingWithInterpretedValues

const metadata = new groupdocs.metadata.Metadata(Constants.InputDoc);
    var properties = metadata.findProperties(new groupdocs.metadata.OfTypeSpecification(groupdocs.metadata.MetadataPropertyType.Integer));
      for(var i=0;i<properties.getCount(); i++){
        var property = properties.get_Item(i);
        if(property.getInterpretedValue() != null)
        {
          console.log(property.getName());
          console.log(property.getValue().getRawValue());
          console.log(property.getInterpretedValue().getRawValue());
        }
