JPX is a complex and versatile image file format, defined in Part 2 of the JPEG 2000 standard (ISO/IEC 15444-2).

It is an extension of JP2 format. In addition to the JP2 feature set, JPX offers:

The JPX specification is apparently so large and difficult that its creators felt the need to define a simpler subset of it named Baseline JPX, which lies between JP2 and the full JPX format in complexity. Baseline JPX files, for example, can only use wavelet compression.

Identifiers

The current version of the standard clearly states that the official filename extension is .jpf, and doesn't even mention .jpx as a possibility. However, some reputable sources say that .jpx is legitimate, or even preferred.

Identification

JPX files (usually?) begin with bytes 00 00 00 0c 6a 50 20 20 0d 0a 87 0a ?? ?? ?? ?? 66 74 79 70 6a 70 78 20.

Specifications

GMLJP2 is a metadata standard that allows one to include geospatial metadata in georeferenced JPX images.

Editors' notes

There must be a story behind why the JPX filename extension is .jpf instead of .jpx, but we have not been able to locate it. Perhaps it was originally intended to be .jpx, but was changed due to a conflict. The next most common use of .jpx seems to be for JBuilder project files.
