The barKoder Cordova plugin supports essential features like continuous scanning and high-performance decoding across all major barcode symbologies. Whether you're building for iOS, Android, or both, the barKoder SDK for Cordova provides a robust and reliable solution for embedding advanced barcode scanning capabilities into your mobile applications.

How Cordova works

Cordova enables developers to build cross-platform mobile applications using standard web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It wraps your web app into a native container, allowing it to access device features through a unified set of JavaScript APIs. This approach provides a single codebase for both iOS and Android, while still leveraging native capabilities such as the camera, sensors, and barcode scanning through plugins like barKoder.

Apache Cordova provides a platform for building mobile applications using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It leverages a native container that wraps your web application and bridges it to native device APIs using plugins. This allows web-based apps to access core device features such as the camera, file system, and barcode scanner—functionality traditionally only available to native applications.

Cordova’s plugin architecture enables seamless integration of native capabilities into hybrid apps. The barKoder Cordova plugin utilizes this system to deliver fast, accurate barcode scanning through a simple JavaScript interface, making it ideal for cross-platform development targeting both Android and iOS.

Supported platforms

Cordova apps can be built for Android and iOS using standard web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Development can be done on any platform, but building for iOS requires a macOS environment with Xcode installed.

  • Android 5.0 (API 21) or higher is required
  • iOS 11 or higher is required
  • Building iOS apps requires macOS with Xcode installed
  • Windows can be used for developing and building Android apps

Barcode Scanner SDK Features

Damaged Barcodes

At the core of our cutting-edge decoding solution lies MatrixSight®, an algorithm that some among us dare to deem groundbreaking. Exclusively featured in our barKoder software, MatrixSight is meticulously designed to redefine the very standards of mobile barcode recognition. This exceptional algorithm transcends the constraints of conventional decoding, establishing a new benchmark for reliability, accuracy, and versatility.

Deformed Barcodes

Segment Decoding® transcends beyond anything other barcode scanners can achieve, and that is successful recognition of 1D barcodes that have been deformed, crumpled, wrinkled and otherwise altered to the degree where a straight line can't pass through all its bars, a limitation that other decoders can't alleviate. Achieved through barkoder's advanced barcode location detection algorithms, Segment Decoding® technique is unmatched in its performance levels and pattern matching capabilities, amortizing even the highest degree of barcode damages, including printing errors, label damage, scanner angles, low print quality, as well as various other levels of physical damage or environmental conditions.

Blurry Barcodes

Accurately and reliably scan EAN & UPC barcodes regardless of the degree and the type of blur that affects them, be that motion, lens or focus blur.

Multiple Barcodes

Want to scan multiple barcodes regardless of type and density continuously? Look no further than barKoder's Batch MultiScan feature, whose result caching and location reconstruction techniques provide excellent user-experience and results.

VIN Scanner

When you combine MatrixSight® & Segment Decoding®, the result is breathtaking and leads to the most advanced VIN barcode scanner on the market, able to capture the data even within the most stubborn & difficult to read VIN-powered Code 39, Code 128, Data Matrix & QR Codes.

MRZ Scanner

The fastest & most accurate Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) scanning software solution for capturing data from any MRZ- empowered biometric document, ensuring streamlined, reliable identity verification. With its easy integration and seamless setup, it represents an almost turnkey solution for any mobile platform without extensive configuration.

PDF417 Scanner

Applying what we learned from MatrixSight® to our PDF417 barcode recognition engine was, for a lack of a better word, unparalleled. PDF417 barcodes, usually applied to identification documents such as driver's licenses, ID cards, vehicle registration discs and similar use-cases, due to wearing and extensive use naturally fade and lose their basic elements such as its start and stop patterns. But PDF417-LineSight® doesn't stop here and goes far beyond - a PDF417 barcode can now also miss its start and stop row indications and even entire data columns and it still wouldn't be beyond the reach of barKoder, which will capture the entirety of its data regardless.

DPM Scanner

barKoder SDK's unique algorithms and features provided all the necessary conditions for creating a special mode for decoding even the most challenging Data Matrix barcodes, i.e. those engraved utilizing the Direct Part Marking (DPM) methods, something that previously was only possible with extremely expensive and specialized hardware scanners. Now all you need to achieve such barcode reading levels is your own personal smart device!

DotCode Scanner

barKoder'’s barcode scanning API features the best DotCode reading algorithm by a significant margin when compared to any competitor product in the software-based barcode reading market, be that closed or open-source, rivaling even the best hardware solutions
