Do you know if it uses the native decoder if available (so, in Safari I guess)? Doesn't say in the readme.
I believe so. This line in the source code means it'll only attempt the decoding if an
imgelement for a.jxlimage url fails to load.If you're on safari, you can verify it by going to the demo page at https://niutech.github.io/jxl.js/ and inspect the image element. If the
srcattributes contain blob, then it's decoded using the wasm decoder. If thesrcattribute contains url to a.jxlfile, then it's decoded natively.Very cool, thanks. Will keep this in mind.
