ZXing VS python-qrcode

The biggest difference between the two plugins is the SDK used to recognise the barcodes. The Capacitor Community Barcode Scanner plugin currently uses the ZXing decoder and the Capacitor ML Kit Barcode Scanning plugin uses the ML Kit from Google.

This is using Excel, but it is still VBA, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIFjw8z__dI they're utilizing a third-party library called ZXing which is available on GitHub https://github.com/zxing/zxing

I'm sure it works, but thezxing github project appears in maintenance mode, so I'm not sure i should use it in a new project

PyXing (website here) is supposedly a Python port of the popular Java ZXing library, but the initial and only commit is 6 years old and the project has no readme or documentation whatsoever.

windows I have no idea. I doubt there is anything eqvt. If you're comfortable with the command line you can see if either https://github.com/mnooner256/pyqrcode or https://github.com/lincolnloop/python-qrcode -- both python programs -- can be installed

Visit documentation for more information about the parameters in qrcode.QRCode(...).

Python should be fine - you can most likely use https://github.com/lincolnloop/python-qrcode as a good starting point to create QR codes.

I've made a short video on QR Code generation in Python with the library qrcode for beginners:

Anyway, I much prefer python-qrcode. It can output QR codes in ascii directly in the terminal and/or generate QR images.

import sys, qrcoded = qrcode.Decoder()if d.decode('out.png'): print 'result: ' + d.resultelse: print 'error: ' + d.error So I simply installed it using sudo pip install pyqrcode. The thing I find strange about the example code above however, is that it only imports qrcode (and not pyqrcode though) Since I think qrcode refers to this library which can only generate qr-code images it kind of confused me. So I tried the code above with both pyqrcode and qrcode, but both fail at the second line saying AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Decoder'. Furthermore, the website refers to Ubuntu 8.10 (which came out more than 6 years ago) and I can't find a public (git or other) repository of it to check the latest commit. So I moved on to the next library:

It really bugs me when people post self promoting how-to guides, it would have been more useful to just post a link to https://github.com/lincolnloop/python-qrcode and say look: did you know there's a QR code library for Python? But that wouldn't drive clicks to your channel.

The QR code is displayed using the qrcode library for Python. You can check it out here: https://github.com/lincolnloop/python-qrcode
