In the world of Python barcode scanning, developers have several options to choose from, including ZXing, ZBar, and the Dynamsoft Barcode Reader. Each of these libraries offers unique strengths, catering to different needs and environments. ZXing and ZBar are popular open-source options, known for their community-driven development and flexibility. On...

Java Development Kit (JDK) does not provide a built-in API for camera access. A common workaround is to use OpenCV with Java bindings (such as JavaCV). However, OpenCV is a fairly large library, which may not be suitable for all applications. In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to build...

Barcode generators are essential tools in various scenarios. A typical use case is testing barcode reader and scanner SDKs. In this tutorial, we’ll build a Windows Forms application that can both generate and read barcodes using two popular .NET Barcode SDKs: ZXing.NET and Dynamsoft Barcode Reader. ZXing.NET offers both barcode...

In a previous article, we explored how to create a command-line barcode and QR code scanning application using Java and the Dynamsoft Barcode Reader. This article will delve into building more sophisticated applications, such as a desktop GUI application and a web application. Additionally, we will integrate the ZXing SDK...

ZXing is an open-source, 1D/2D barcode image processing library implemented in Java. The supported barcode formats include UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, Code 93, Code 128, QR Code, Data Matrix, Aztec, PDF 417, etc. Besides the Java version, developers can leverage other ported projects such as QZXing, zxing-cpp, zxing_cpp.rb, python-zxing and ZXing...

Barcode scanning, especially QR code scans, are now widely used in various applications. This includes advertisements, newspapers, social networks, signage, and so on. The growth of QR codes is in large part due to the smartphone market’s booming growth. As a result, scanning technology tends to be more and more useful...
