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

|
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 (all languages), SVG XML string (all languages except C), `BufferedImage` raster bitmap (Java only), HTML5 canvas (JavaScript and TypeScript only)
|
|
* 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 (all languages except C)
|
|
|
|
Optional advanced features (Java only):
|
|
|
|
* Encodes Japanese Unicode text in kanji mode to save a lot of space compared to UTF-8 bytes
|
|
* Computes optimal segment mode switching for text with mixed numeric/alphanumeric/general parts
|
|
|
