## What it is
BaconQrCode is a PHP library for generating QR codes, ported from the encoder portion of the ZXing library. It renders QR codes to PNG (via Imagick or GD), SVG, and EPS image formats.

## Use cases
- generate qr code images in php
- create qr codes for urls in a web app
- render qr codes as svg files
- generate qr code pngs with imagick
- add qr code generation to a php application
- produce eps qr code files

## When to choose
- you need QR code generation in a PHP project
- you need multiple output formats like SVG, EPS, or PNG
- you want a well-established library ported from ZXing

## When to avoid
- you need QR code decoding/reading, not just generation
- your project is not in PHP
- you need GD support with gradients or rounded modules

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: image-processing, graphics, serialization
- domain: web-development, developer-tools
- platform: php
- tags: qr-code, qr-code-generator, zxing-port, imagick, svg, eps
