# metadata

An array of metadata items for all metadata identifiers that have a value.

## Declaration

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

## Discussion

Discussion Use the load(_:isolation:) method to retrieve the property value. You can filter the array of metadata items according to language using the metadataItems(from:filteredAndSortedAccordingToPreferredLanguages:) method. Filter the results by identifier using the metadataItems(from:filteredByIdentifier:) method.
