Need Full Raster Metadata in rioxarray

Hey, quick question for those of you guys who are working with geospatial data!

Our team is running into a bit of a snag with rioxarray. We're trying to pull all the metadata from our rasters, the same way you can easily grab everything with rasterio.open(file_path) as src: metadata = src.meta.

But with rioxarray, we only seem to get the rio.transform and rio.crs attributes directly. Is there a straightforward way, or a single attribute, in rioxarray that gives you that full meta dictionary like rasterio does? We're trying to keep our workflow consistent. Thanks for any insights!
 
Yeah, rioxarray doesn't give you the full .meta like rasterio, but you can still pull most of it using .rio methods and .attrs. But it might take a few extra lines. No worries, it still gets you there.
