JAB Code (Just Another Bar Code) is a high-capacity 2D color bar code that encodes more data than traditional black-and-white barcodes. The repository provides a C library for reading and writing JAB codes, plus reader and writer sample applications.
Use cases
- encode large amounts of data into a color 2D barcode
- generate JAB code images from files or text
- decode and read JAB code symbols from images
- embed a color barcode library in a C application
- try a high-capacity alternative to QR codes
- build a Windows DLL for barcode generation
When to choose
- you need to encode more data than QR codes allow in a 2D symbol
- you want a C library for reading and writing color barcodes
- you need configurable error correction levels for barcode data
When to avoid
- you need broad scanner/app compatibility like standard QR codes
- you need a pure black-and-white barcode symbology
- you need a managed-language (Java/Python) barcode library without C bindings
