## What it is
A Go library implementing a QR Code encoder that can generate QR codes as PNG images with configurable error recovery levels and colors. It also ships a command-line tool for generating QR codes from text or URLs.

## Use cases
- generate QR code images in Go
- encode a URL as a QR code PNG
- create QR codes from the command line
- generate QR codes with custom colors
- print QR codes as text art in the terminal

## When to choose
- you need to generate QR codes in a Go application
- you want a simple CLI to produce QR code PNGs
- you need configurable error recovery levels or custom colors

## When to avoid
- you need to decode or read QR codes rather than generate them
- you need QR generation in a language other than Go
- you need advanced styling like logos embedded in QR codes

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: image-processing, cli
- domain: developer-tools, web-development
- platform: go, cross-platform, cli
- tags: qr-code, barcode, png, encoder
