Both formats, briefly
JP2IN
JP2 is the JPEG 2000 container, and it works on wavelets rather than the small blocks of ordinary JPEG. It compresses either lossily or losslessly, blurs rather than blocks as quality drops, and can be decoded progressively or only for the region you asked for. Those properties made it standard in digital cinema packages, medical imaging systems, and satellite and mapping data. Browsers largely skipped it, so files usually need converting for general use.
XBMOUT
An XBM file is an image written as C source code: an array of bytes with the width and height defined above it. That was the point in the X Window System, where a cursor or icon could be compiled straight into a program. It is monochrome and uncompressed, so it only makes sense for small, simple graphics. You still find XBM in Unix desktop source trees and in embedded projects that need a bitmap baked into the binary.
