There are no current plans to implement a new image loader for the WebP
format. As with any new feature, if enough application developers would
benefit from it, and if there is someone willing to drive the feature,
then we could consider it. One caveat, though, is that it would need to
be done without using any third-party code, since you can't contribute
any code you don't own under the terms of the OCA, and we (Oracle) are
unlikely to want to take on another third-party library for this
functionality.

As a reference, TwelveMonkeys[1] implemented WebP support for ImageIO
in Java.
I have recently done some work on WebP support for JavaFX, but I have
no experience in image processing,
and I am also busy with many other tasks. If there are experts in this
field willing to start implementing it in the near future,
I would be happy that it has saved me a lot of time.

Hi Guys,
Are there plans to support WebP soon? Lack of support means that
SEO is getting penalised for sites that JavaFX can load, as the
page load speed is often poor by comparison.
In my case, I have a music education site that becomes interactive
when loaded via my JavaFX application (e.g. to create a guitar
scale on a virtual guitar (Canvas)), but can be browsed normally
with none of these interactions.
WebP is becoming very important these days, especially with SEO in
mind.
Many thanks, Jerry Kramskoy
