Its capabilities should match the ones of 
https://github.com/team-charls/charls :

"This project's goal is to provide a full implementation of the ISO/IEC 
14495-1:1999, "Lossless and near-lossless compression of continuous-tone 
still images: Baseline" standard."

But I'm not aware of Lossless JPEG (not sure which variant NITF refers 
to, if it is the " 1993 addition to JPEG standard " or JPEG-LS 
ISO-14495-1/ITU-T.87) being actually used in practice with NITF (at 
least I've never seen such beast). People generally use either good-old 
JPEG or JPEG-2000 if they want compression.
