The X-Ray Telescope (XRT) aboard Hinode has revealed the fine structure of solar X-ray jets. One of the fine structures observed by XRT is an expanding loop. The loop appeared near the footpoint of the jet when footpoint brightening was observed. Additionally, we have found that the X-ray jets began just after the expanding loop ``breaks''. Other fine structures discovered by XRT are thread-like features along the axis of the jets. XRT has shown that these thread structures compose the cross-section of jets. The fine structures and their motions strongly support an X-ray jet model based on magnetic reconnection, and also suggest that we must consider the three-dimensional configuration of the magnetic field to understand the jet phenomenon. We also investigated the reverse jet associated with the X-ray jet in the quiet Sun, and propose that the reverse jet is produced by heat conduction, or a MHD wave subsequent to the main jet.
