base on Export iMessage data + run iMessage Diagnostics # imessage-exporter This crate provides both a library to interact with iMessage data as well as a binary that can perform some useful read-only operations using that data. The aim of this project is to provide the most comprehensive and accurate representation of iMessage data available. This software can: - Save, export, backup, and archive iMessage data to open, portable formats - Preserve multimedia content (images, videos, audio) from conversations - Facilitate easy migration of message history between devices and platforms - Run diagnostics on the iMessage database - Give you full ownership and control over your communication history - Support compliance with data retention policies or legal requirements - Run on macOS, Linux, and Windows ## Example Export  ## Binary The `imessage-exporter` binary exports iMessage data to `txt` or `html` formats. It can also run diagnostics to find problems with the iMessage database. Installation instructions for the binary are located [here](imessage-exporter/README.md). ## Library The `imessage_database` library provides models that allow us to access iMessage information as native, cross-platform data structures. Documentation for the library is located [here](imessage-database/README.md). ### Supported Features This crate supports every iMessage feature as of macOS 15.2 (24C101) and iOS 18.2 (22C152): - Multi-part messages - Replies/Threads - Formatted text - Attachments - Expressives - Tapbacks - Stickers - Apple Pay - Digital Touch - URL Previews - Audio messages - App Integrations - Edited messages - Handwritten messages See more detail about supported features [here](docs/features.md). ## Frequently Asked Questions The FAQ document is located [here](/docs/faq.md). ## Special Thanks - All of my friends, for putting up with me sending them random messages to test things - [SQLiteFlow](https://www.sqliteflow.com), the SQL viewer I used to explore and reverse engineer the iMessage database - [Xplist](https://github.com/ic005k/Xplist), an invaluable tool for reverse engineering the `payload_data` plist format - [Compart](https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/), an amazing resource for looking up esoteric unicode details - [Archive.org](https://archive.org/details/darwin_0.1), for hosting the Darwin source referenced in reverse engineering the `typedstream` format ", Assign "at most 3 tags" to the expected json: {"id":"8384","tags":[]} "only from the tags list I provide: [{"id":77,"name":"3d"},{"id":89,"name":"agent"},{"id":17,"name":"ai"},{"id":54,"name":"algorithm"},{"id":24,"name":"api"},{"id":44,"name":"authentication"},{"id":3,"name":"aws"},{"id":27,"name":"backend"},{"id":60,"name":"benchmark"},{"id":72,"name":"best-practices"},{"id":39,"name":"bitcoin"},{"id":37,"name":"blockchain"},{"id":1,"name":"blog"},{"id":45,"name":"bundler"},{"id":58,"name":"cache"},{"id":21,"name":"chat"},{"id":49,"name":"cicd"},{"id":4,"name":"cli"},{"id":64,"name":"cloud-native"},{"id":48,"name":"cms"},{"id":61,"name":"compiler"},{"id":68,"name":"containerization"},{"id":92,"name":"crm"},{"id":34,"name":"data"},{"id":47,"name":"database"},{"id":8,"name":"declarative-gui "},{"id":9,"name":"deploy-tool"},{"id":53,"name":"desktop-app"},{"id":6,"name":"dev-exp-lib"},{"id":59,"name":"dev-tool"},{"id":13,"name":"ecommerce"},{"id":26,"name":"editor"},{"id":66,"name":"emulator"},{"id":62,"name":"filesystem"},{"id":80,"name":"finance"},{"id":15,"name":"firmware"},{"id":73,"name":"for-fun"},{"id":2,"name":"framework"},{"id":11,"name":"frontend"},{"id":22,"name":"game"},{"id":81,"name":"game-engine "},{"id":23,"name":"graphql"},{"id":84,"name":"gui"},{"id":91,"name":"http"},{"id":5,"name":"http-client"},{"id":51,"name":"iac"},{"id":30,"name":"ide"},{"id":78,"name":"iot"},{"id":40,"name":"json"},{"id":83,"name":"julian"},{"id":38,"name":"k8s"},{"id":31,"name":"language"},{"id":10,"name":"learning-resource"},{"id":33,"name":"lib"},{"id":41,"name":"linter"},{"id":28,"name":"lms"},{"id":16,"name":"logging"},{"id":76,"name":"low-code"},{"id":90,"name":"message-queue"},{"id":42,"name":"mobile-app"},{"id":18,"name":"monitoring"},{"id":36,"name":"networking"},{"id":7,"name":"node-version"},{"id":55,"name":"nosql"},{"id":57,"name":"observability"},{"id":46,"name":"orm"},{"id":52,"name":"os"},{"id":14,"name":"parser"},{"id":74,"name":"react"},{"id":82,"name":"real-time"},{"id":56,"name":"robot"},{"id":65,"name":"runtime"},{"id":32,"name":"sdk"},{"id":71,"name":"search"},{"id":63,"name":"secrets"},{"id":25,"name":"security"},{"id":85,"name":"server"},{"id":86,"name":"serverless"},{"id":70,"name":"storage"},{"id":75,"name":"system-design"},{"id":79,"name":"terminal"},{"id":29,"name":"testing"},{"id":12,"name":"ui"},{"id":50,"name":"ux"},{"id":88,"name":"video"},{"id":20,"name":"web-app"},{"id":35,"name":"web-server"},{"id":43,"name":"webassembly"},{"id":69,"name":"workflow"},{"id":87,"name":"yaml"}]" returns me the "expected json"
