# ECW - JPG2000

With this type of data source, it is possible to read ECW or JPG2000 image files or to connect to an ECWP server ([ERDAS](http://www.erdas.com/) Image Web Server) to obtain images. It is not possible to configure both at the same time.

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="188.5"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Parameters</strong></td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>Selected files</td><td>Select one or more ECW or JPG2000 image files to read. If many files are selected, they will be considered as a mosaic. The files must be georeferenced.</td></tr></tbody></table>

**Note**: This type of data can also be read by the GDAL data source with the same performance. This data source is kept for compatibility with existing configurations.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.k2geospatial.com/en2/administrator/jmap-server-administrator-manual/spatial-data-sources/raster-data-sources/ecw-jpg2000.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
