Symbology.js - generate 50+ types of 1D or 2D Barcode in png, svg, or eps formats
Full credit is due to Robin Stuart for making zint, which is the C++ lib that does the actual rendering. I only created the js wrapper for it.
When I originally developed Symbology, I made a mistake in making the license MIT. Since it makes use of zint (which is licensed under GPL-3), and since I distribute zint as part of the compiled binary, I changed the license to GPL-3.
What are some alternatives?
