JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) File Interchange Format: Python (read-write) 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
