BCBP parser
Bar Coded Boarding Pass (BCBP) parser #
The BCBP parser reads IATA boarding-pass barcodes and returns the passenger, flight and other boarding-pass fields instead of only the raw barcode value.
Enable the barcodes boarding passes use, and BCBP formatting:
JavaScript
Barkoder.setEnabledDecoders(
Barkoder.constants.Decoders.PDF417,
Barkoder.constants.Decoders.Aztec,
Barkoder.constants.Decoders.QR
);
Barkoder.setFormatting(Barkoder.constants.Formatting.BCBP);With Barkoder.constants.Formatting.Automatic boarding passes are recognized and parsed too, along with the other parsers (GS1, AAMVA, SADL).
The parsed data comes in the result's formattedJSON (and as key/value text in formattedText), as with the other parsers on the Web SDK.
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.
