Hello, 

 

What is the best way to extract metadata from a shapefile? This would include Title, Tags, Summary, Description, Credits, Field Names, and Summaries. I want to export the metadata to an Excel spreadsheet.

I am looking for some ideas on what transformers to use. 

You could use the Schema reader to extract the field names and types, but all of the other stuff is not actually stored in the shapefile itself, but, if I recall correctly, as a separate XML file. So for that you would need the XML reader
