Accessing DAM Asset meta information

Here's some cool information from AK:-

To get the metadata in a simplefashion, you can use the standard sling json representation:
http://localhost:4502//jcr:content/metadata.infinity.json

For example:
http://localhost:4502/content/dam/geometrixx/banners/dsc.jpg/jcr:content/metadata.infinity.json

Docs on metadata:

management.html


There is also the Sharepoint connector for JCR as a separate product,
which might be useful if there is a Sharepoint involved:

If you need further custom code on the CQ side to provide e.g. new
servlets / JSPs that expose dam assets in a custom way, here are some more
links:
