JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) File Interchange Format: JavaScript parsing library

JPEG File Interchange Format, or JFIF, or, more colloquially known as just "JPEG" or "JPG", is a popular 2D bitmap image file format, offering lossy compression which works reasonably well with photographic images.

Format is organized as a container format, serving multiple "segments", each starting with a magic and a marker. JFIF standard dictates order and mandatory apperance of segments:

  • SOI
  • APP0 (with JFIF magic)
  • APP0 (with JFXX magic, optional)
  • everything else
  • SOS
  • JPEG-compressed stream
  • EOI

This page hosts a formal specification of JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) File Interchange Format using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.

Usage

Runtime library

All parsing code for JavaScript generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the JavaScript runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.

The JavaScript runtime library is available at npm:

npm install kaitai-struct

Code

See the usage examples in the JavaScript notes.

Parse structure from an ArrayBuffer:

var arrayBuffer = ...;
var data = new Jpeg(new KaitaiStream(arrayBuffer));

After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by accessing fields or properties like:

data.segments // => get segments
