xmpParse

Parses an XMP (RDF/XML) metadata packet and flattens it to a { path: value } struct, mirroring what Adobe XMPCore's XMPMetaFactory.parseFromString(...).iterator() yields. Paths use Adobe's canonical shape: simple properties are prefix:localName, array items (rdf:Bag/Seq/Alt) are prefix:localName[N] (1-based), and struct fields are prefix:localName/childPrefix:childName. All rdf:Description blocks (one per schema) are flattened into the same struct. Language-alternative qualifiers (xml:lang) are not emitted as separate pseudo-properties; the rdf:Alt item value is emitted directly.

xmpParse(xmpXml) → returns struct

This function requires RustCFML.  Not supported on Lucee, Adobe ColdFusion, etc.
