The Metadata interface contains information about a file system entry. This metadata includes the file's size and modification date and time.

[!NOTE] This interface isn't available through the global scope; instead, you obtain a Metadata object describing a {{domxref("FileSystemEntry")}} using the method {{domxref("FileSystemEntry.getMetadata()")}}.
