ZXing ("Zebra Crossing")

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There are, finally, some modules no longer maintained but that are available from earlier releases: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.
