      XMPMetadata parse(InputStream input, Map<String,Object> parseContext) throws XMPException
      Parse XMP in RDF/XML form from an InputStream. The input for parsing may be any valid Unicode encoding, it is recognized automatically. The client has to open/close the stream. The parser will simply ignore sub-trees that contain invalid XMP data. It will only throw on serious errors.
      Parameters:
      input - the stream contains an XMP packet serialized as RDF/XML
      parseContext - a map to provide options for the parser, or return additional information other than the XMP data model; can be null if not needed
      Returns:
      an XMPMetadata object created from the input
      Throws:
      XMPException - If the data is invalid XML, invalid XMP or contains invalid data
