What is the difference between .sew and .jxl?

Name: Janome (New Home) Sewing Machine Stitch File; JPEG XL Image
Extension: .sew; .jxl
Format: Binary
Category: Embroidery; Raster Image
Developer: Janome; Joint Photographic Experts Group
Description: Sew files are binary files that are used to save embroidery designs created with Janome (New Home) Sewing Machine software. The files contain the instructions for the sewing machine to stitch the embroidery pattern onto fabric.; A JPEG XL file is an image saved in a compressed graphic format currently under development by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It supports wide color gamut and HDR (High Dynamic Range), alpha channels and animation frames while providing visually lossless compression. Images can be converted back and forth between JPEG XL and JPEG without loss of quality. Converting a regular JPEG to JPEG XL reduces the file size by 22%. JPEG XL files can be used to store any type of image content.
MIME Type: application/x-sew; image/jpegxl
Sample: sample.sew; sample.jxl

What a conversion keeps

Stitches: Every stitch is kept at its exact position. Nothing is re-digitised.
Colours: Kept when the target stores them. DST stores no colours, only where each colour changes, so your machine asks for the threads.
Trims, jumps and stops: Kept, and written the way the target machine expects them.
Objects and lettering: Design programs keep shapes and text as objects. A machine file only holds stitches, so objects become stitches.
