Which edition of Barcode Reader should I use?

« Back to FAQ index

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.
