Which edition of Barcode Reader should I use?
The edition of the SDK depends on the application environment/type, which is one of: a desktop app, native mobile app, web app (server-side), or web app (client-side).
- desktop app: Windows/Linux edition
- desktop app (embedded – e.g. raspberry pi): Windows/Linux edition
- native mobile app: iOS/Android edition
- webapp (server-side): Windows/Linux edition
- webapp (client-side): JavaScript edition
Note - It is important to note the difference the Windows/Linux edition and the JavaScript edition when it comes to web applications. The Windows/Linux edition can only operate on the server-side, so it cannot offer live video decoding, while the JavaScript edition can since it is client-side.
