zigimg VS ImageSharp

zigimg continues to get improvements, with support for JPEG, PNG, QOI, TGA and more image formats.

You can use std.mem.eql. Dunno what you are trying to do with an PNG image but maybe my library can be useful? https://github.com/zigimg/zigimg

> High quality progressive decoding at reduced filesizes is a big positive for me.

This is really cool!

Honestly, I want to use regular progressive JPEGs for a current project of mine, but it seems that even that doesn't have support in all the tech stacks yet despite how long it's been around for, for example: https://github.com/SixLabors/ImageSharp/issues/449

Here's hoping that in the case of JPEG-XL this will be more commonplace!

Here's an example:

Again, nothing stops someone from forking and maintaining.

Are you saying this is not legally enforceable? Because I am under the impression from my legal council it is. I can ask again to get more clarity.

ChatGPT is very good at being confidently incorrect. I asked it for some programming related thing and it gave me some code that used a class from a library as if it was generic, when it was not, and even made up some classes. You should also remember that things have since updated and things that might have been true back in 2020, may not be anymore. SixLabors.ImageSharp, for example has reworked some code since then and ChatGPT regularly messes up the methods that it uses, most notably Image.GetPixelSpan.

There is one in dot net too https://github.com/SixLabors/ImageSharp

ImageSharp is another option, but could have licence implications.

One example from the top of my head is ImageSharp.

Library users should come together and fork the last open source version (https://github.com/SixLabors/ImageSharp/tree/v2.1.3) and maintain that together. Just having a version still available, even if it's got no new features, may be enough to make the Six Labors reconsider their approach because why pay for a library that can mostly work for free?

Since .net doesn't yet support avif and neither does ImageSharp, files of this type just didn't have a MIME type available and trying to use them would result in a 404 error.
