# metadataObjects

The list of metadata objects captured at this synchronization timestamp.

## Declaration

```swift
var metadataObjects: [AVMetadataObject] { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion note: Because AVMetadataObject is an abstract class, the objects in this array are always instances of a concrete subclass. This array is equivalent to that provided by the metadataOutput(_:didOutput:from:) delegate method when using a metadata capture output without a data output synchronizer.
