Android BCBP parser

The BCBP parser reads IATA Bar Coded Boarding Pass data and returns the passenger, flight and other boarding-pass fields instead of only the raw barcode value. You can enable it explicitly with BCBP formatting. Automatic formatting also recognizes boarding passes, using a lightweight pre-check to avoid false positives. The parser reads the mandatory header and flight-leg data, the variable and security sections and the baggage-related fields. It also accepts common real-world irregularities, such as small padding errors, and still reports parse diagnostics.

Bar Coded Boarding Pass (BCBP) parser #

You can explicitly enable BCBP formatting with:

                bkdView.config.getDecoderConfig().formattingType = Barkoder.FormattingType.BCBP;
            

You can also use the Automatic formatting mode, where BCBP barcodes can be automatically recognized and parsed.

When BCBP formatting is enabled and you scan a compatible barcode from a flight boarding pass, the result will contain additional structured BCBP data in results extras instead of only the raw barcode value.

This is useful when you need to extract information from a boarding pass, such as passenger, flight, journey, and other available boarding-pass fields.

BCBP result fields #

The parser reads IATA Bar Coded Boarding Pass (BCBP) data, up to version 8 of the standard (June 2020), and returns it as JSON in the result's extras. Fields marked "when available" appear only when the boarding pass carries them.
