brew install jasper v4.2.9 JasPer-2.0

C library for encoding and decoding JPEG-2000 images with optional JPEG support.

Why you might care

JasPer is the reference implementation of JPEG-2000 (ISO/IEC 15444), making it essential for applications that need to read or write this format. It's a build dependency for image processing pipelines and tools that support JP2, and provides both command-line utilities and a C API for embedded use.
