# JSS Media API

The JSS media handling API is used internally by `<Image/>` components provided by JSS for React, Angular, Vue.js, and React Native applications and provides the infrastructure for preparing and [using images in JSS applications](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/hd/21/sitecore-headless-development/use-images-in-jss-applications.html "Use images in JSS applications").

The Media API:

- Handles query string parameters in media URLs.
- Iterates over the array of `srcSet` parameters for an image and generates a corresponding set of Sitecore media URLs.
- Retrieves an image tag based on editor markup.
