I have a fileGDB with a single feature class, and that feature class has metadata.

How do I export that metadata to an XML file?

I am using FME Desktop (FME Form) 2022.1

Within the File Geodb Reader there’s an option to set Feature Read Mode to Metadata. This will return the xml metadata in an attribute called geodb_metadata_string which you can then write out to an xml file
