QR Code generator library

Introduction

This project aims to be the best, clearest QR Code generator library. The primary goals are flexible options and absolute correctness. Secondary goals are compact implementation size and good documentation comments.

Home page with live JavaScript demo, extensive descriptions, and competitor comparisons: https://www.nayuki.io/page/qr-code-generator-library

Features

Core features:

Available in 7 programming languages, all with nearly equal functionality: Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, C++, C, Rust
Significantly shorter code but more documentation comments compared to competing libraries
Supports encoding all 40 versions (sizes) and all 4 error correction levels, as per the QR Code Model 2 standard
Output formats: Raw modules/pixels of the QR symbol, SVG XML string
Encodes numeric and special-alphanumeric text in less space than general text
Open source code under the permissive MIT License

Manual parameters:

User can specify minimum and maximum version numbers allowed, then library will automatically choose smallest version in the range that fits the data
User can specify mask pattern manually, otherwise library will automatically evaluate all 8 masks and select the optimal one
User can specify absolute error correction level, or allow the library to boost it if it doesn't increase the version number
User can create a list of data segments manually and add ECI segments

Examples

extern crate qrcodegen;
use qrcodegen::QrCode;
use qrcodegen::QrCodeEcc;
use qrcodegen::QrSegment;

// Simple operation
let qr = QrCode::encode_text("Hello, world!",
    QrCodeEcc::Medium).unwrap();
let svg = qr.to_svg_string(4);

// Manual operation
let chrs: Vec<char> = "3141592653589793238462643383".chars().collect();
let segs = QrSegment::make_segments(&chrs);
let qr = QrCode::encode_segments_advanced(
    &segs, QrCodeEcc::High, 5, 5, Some(Mask::new(2)), false).unwrap();
for y in 0 .. qr.size() {
    for x in 0 .. qr.size() {
        (... paint qr.get_module(x, y) ...)
    }
}
