## Declaration

static var commonMetadata: AVAsyncProperty<Root, [AVMetadataItem]> { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Use the load(_:isolation:) method to retrieve the property value. The value contains an array of metadata items that contain an identifier value from the set of Common Metadata Identifiers. You can filter items in this array according to language by calling metadataItems(from:filteredAndSortedAccordingToPreferredLanguages:), or by identifier by calling metadataItems(from:filteredByIdentifier:).
