A Go library for generating many barcode formats including QR Code, Code 128, EAN, DataMatrix, Aztec, and PDF 417. It encodes data into barcode images that can be scaled and rendered to formats like PNG.
Use cases
- generate qr codes in go
- create barcode images for product labels
- encode ean13 barcodes for retail
- generate datamatrix codes for shipping labels
- render barcodes to png files
- add qr code generation to a go web app
When to choose
- you need pure-Go barcode generation with no external dependencies
- you need many barcode symbologies in one library
- you want to embed barcode rendering in Go servers or CLI tools
When to avoid
- you need to scan or decode barcodes rather than create them
- you need specialized symbologies not in the supported list
- you need vector or PDF output rather than raster images
