Widely used barcode symbologies supported by the barKoder SDK
A barcode symbology is the name for a type of barcode. Whether QR Codes on menus and commercials, or UPC and EAN barcodes commonly seen on product packages, there are actually more than 30 distinct barcode symbologies, each offering unique advantages and constraints.
The Barcode Scanner SDK supports scanning the most common barcode types, maximizing efficiency for today's most progressive mobile apps.
Barcodes come in two main types: 1D (linear) and 2D (two-dimensional). While 1D barcodes are simple, low-cost, and perfect for retail, 2D barcodes pack more data into less space, making them ideal for healthcare, logistics, and mobile use. This guide explains the differences, pros and cons, and helps you decide which barcode type best fits your business needs.
