Load a file of a specific format

This example demonstrates how to load a file of a particular format. Explicitly specifying the format through LoadOptions can spare the time spent on automatic format detection.

from groupdocs.metadata import Metadata
from groupdocs.metadata.common import FileFormat
from groupdocs.metadata.options import LoadOptions


def loading_file_of_specific_format():
    load_options = LoadOptions(FileFormat.SPREADSHEET)

    with Metadata("input.xlsx", load_options) as metadata:
        root = metadata.get_root_package()
        # Use format-specific properties to extract or edit metadata
        print(f"Author: {root.document_properties.author}")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    loading_file_of_specific_format()

input.xlsx is the sample file used in this example. Click here to download it.
