.NET MAUI

.NET MAUI Barcode Scanner SDK (iOS, Android & Windows)

Enterprise-grade barcode scanning for cross-platform MAUI applications — lightweight, fast, and built for production environments.

About

Enhance your .NET MAUI apps with next-gen barcode scanning with the barKoder SDK for iOS, Android & Windows

barKoder SDK is fully compatible with .NET MAUI, the modern framework that enables you to create native mobile and desktop apps for iOS, Android and Windows, using C# and .NET.

With the barKoder plugin for .NET MAUI, you can easily integrate powerful barcode scanning functionality into your cross-platform applications, delivering a seamless experience across both operating systems.

.NET MAUI offers a unified approach to building native apps, allowing you to write your code once and deploy it across multiple platforms. The barKoder plugin, available via NuGet, supports essential features like continuous scanning and high-performance decoding, ensuring that your apps meet the highest standards of efficiency and reliability. Whether you're building for iOS, Android, or both, barKoder SDK with .NET MAUI provides a comprehensive solution for integrating advanced barcode scanning capabilities into your mobile applications.

Functionality

How .NET MAUI works

.NET MAUI unifies Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows APIs into a single API that allows a write-once run-anywhere developer experience, while additionally providing deep access to every aspect of each native platform.

.NET 6 or greater provides a series of platform-specific frameworks for creating apps: .NET for Android, .NET for iOS, .NET for Mac Catalyst, and Windows UI 3 (WinUI 3) library. These frameworks all have access to the same .NET Base Class Library (BCL). This library abstracts the details of the underlying platform away from your code. The BCL depends on the .NET runtime to provide the execution environment for your code. For Android, iOS, and macOS, the environment is implemented by Mono, an implementation of the .NET runtime. On Windows, .NET CoreCLR provides the execution environment.

.NET MAUI provides a single framework for building the UIs for mobile and desktop apps. The following diagram shows a high-level view of the architecture of a .NET MAUI app.

Features

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!
