Java metadata read and write

Is it possible in a generic way (for all image types) to be able to read and write metadata in Java, i've found a few examples but they are always specific, for JPEG or PNG for example. I need something generic enough to not if else statement everywhere.

Look at the readandDisplayMetaData function and it will give you an idea.

Every file format has a different way of storing metadata. Asking for a generic way to read and write metadata is like asking for a generic way to read and write all file formats.
