JPEG metadata structure is framed in several levels:
- JPEG Level - contains all JPEG metadata
- JPEG Marker Segment Levels - contains metadata of each particular JPEG marker segment

JPEG Marker Segment Levels
The following JPEG marker segments metadata are supported:
- Frame marker segment level - SOF0, SOF1, SOF2 and SOF3 (read only)
- Frame component level
- Scan marker segment level - SOS (read only)
- Scan component level
- Define-quantization-table marker segment level - DQT (read only)

Application Marker Segment Level
There are several application marker segments whose data structure is well known. These segments are parsed and their data are passed in special format.
These marker segments are:
- JFIF APP0 segment
- JFIF extension (JFXX) APP0 segment (read only)
- EXIF APP1 segment
- Photoshop Image Resource APP13 marker segment - includes some IPTC data and another Photoshop Image Resource metadata structure
- Other application marker segment levels
