Overview
The Web Barcode Scanner SDK is a powerful and easy-to-integrate software development kit for turning smartphones and tablets into fast and reliable barcode scanners.
The SDK utilizes the device's camera, which can be freely switched. You can also apply various filters to narrow down the results by barcode type or content, with regex pattern support to ensure you only capture the specific barcodes relevant to your application.
It operates entirely offline on the user's device and takes only 0.04 seconds to scan barcodes. Scans are accurate even under challenging conditions, including damaged, small, or distant barcodes and low-light environments.
Thanks to the Ready-To-Use UI Components (RTU UI), you can integrate the SDK's scanning functionalities with only a few lines of code. This way, you can benefit from tried-and-true UX design and straightforward integration while still being able to customize the visual appearance to match your brand.
If you want full control over the barcode scanner's appearance, you can instead use the SDK's Classic UI Components (Classic UI) to build a fully customized scanning experience yourself.
