ZXing - A multi-format 1D/2D barcode image processing library with clients for Android, Java

Posted by Oshini Perera || Oceangirl || Princess Mia Sunday, March 25, 2012

ZXing (pronounced "zebra crossing") is an open-source, multi-format 1D/2D barcode image processing library implemented in Java, with ports to other languages. Our focus is on using the built-in camera on mobile phones to scan and decode barcodes on the device, without communicating with a server. However the project can be used to encode and decode barcodes on desktops and servers as well. We currently support these formats:

  • UPC-A and UPC-E
  • EAN-8 and EAN-13
  • Code 39
  • Code 93
  • Code 128
  • ITF
  • Codabar
  • RSS-14 (all variants)
  • QR Code
  • Data Matrix
  • Aztec ('beta' quality)
  • PDF 417 ('alpha' quality)
This library is divided into several main components which are actively supported:
  • core: The core image decoding library, and test code
  • javase: J2SE-specific client code
  • zxingorg: The source behind zxing.org/w
  • android: Android client, called Barcode Scanner
  • androidtest: Android test app
  • android-integration: Supports integration with our Barcode Scanner app via Intent
There are also additional modules which are contributed and/or intermittently maintained:
  • cpp: Partial C++ port
  • iphone: iPhone client + port to Objective C / C++ (QR code only)
  • zxing.appspot.com: The source behind our web-based barcode generator
  • csharp: Partial C# port
  • jruby: Ruby wrapper
  • actionscript: partial port to Actionscript
There are, finally, some modules no longer maintained but that are available from earlier releases:
  • javame: JavaME client
  • rim: RIM/Blackberry-specific client build
  • bug: Client for BugLabs's BUG
To complement our decoding software, we have created a web-based QR Code generator which supports contact information, calendar events, URLs, and much more.

  2. I usually generate barcode in C#, sometimes will also need such a tool for java.
    Thanks for your article, it's much useful.
