## What it is
Android library projects providing easy-to-use, extensible barcode scanner views based on ZXing and ZBar. It wraps camera preview and decoding into reusable scanner views for Android apps.

## Use cases
- scan qr codes in an android app
- read barcodes with the device camera
- embed a barcode scanner view in an activity
- decode 1d and 2d barcodes on android
- build a product lookup scanner

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Android app already using this library
- you need a simple ZXing/ZBar-based scanner view on old Android versions

## When to avoid
- starting a new Android project - use Google ML Kit or CameraX instead
- you need active maintenance or recent Android support

## Facets
