## Windows metadata reader
The [windows-metadata](https://crates.io/crates/windows-metadata) crate provides a fast reader for Windows metadata files based on the ECMA-335 file format.
* [Getting started](https://kennykerr.ca/rust-getting-started/)
* [Samples](https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs/tree/0.58.0/crates/samples)
* [Releases](https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs/releases)
Start by adding the following to your Cargo.toml file:
```toml
[dependencies.windows-metadata]
version = "0.58"
```
Read metadata as needed:
```rust,no_run
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());
}
}
}
```
