    var xexif = require("xexif")

1. load jpg/jpeg image file, return a arrayBuffer

    var app1ArrayBuf = xexif.getArrayBufFromImgFile("./1.jpg")  

2. decode APP1(thigs include EXIF) to a stage-0 Dict,but this raw-data-dict is not good for reading/writing

    var app1s0 = xexif.decodeAPP1(app1ArrayBuf)

3. convert Dict of step3 to a more readable stage-1 Dict

    var app1s1 = xexif.readable(app1s0)    

4.search a tag(loose mode)

    xexif.search("GPS",app1s1)
