Does anyone know the format specification for image data in the ENEX file?

[JLS99 1]

I'm writing a program that will port data from an old journal into Evernote.

The old journal exports its data in RTF and RTFD files, the former is text-only, the latter is text with images that I will resolve to jpeg's.

My program can easily convert the RTF files to ENEX's XML schema.

However, I need to know what the format spec is for images in ENEX's XML schema so I can convert my jpeg's to it.

Is this image specification documented somewhere and, if so, would you please point me to it.

Thank you very much,

Jay

I think it is unlikely that we have anyone in these forums with the answer to your question. There is a developer website for Evernote which may give some suggestions or your other option is to open a support ticket.

The implementation is straight forward: as you know XML is in UTF8 format (ASCII superset), therefore the binary data should be converted to text by base64 encoding, for the meta data see below:

"...For each resource contained in the note, there will be a corresponding resource element within note which will be comprised of the following child elements:

• data is a base64-encoded version of the Resource.
• mime is the MIME type of the Resource.
• width and height will be set if the Resource can be displayed inline (e.g., images and PDFs)..."
•  

see : https://evernote.com/blog/how-evernotes-xml-export-format-works/

base64 encoders are available in every language, here is one for python: https://docs.python.org/3/library/base64.html

Hey, thanks a bunch for responding. That’ll get me rollin’ on my solution.

I appreciate your time taken here.
