## What it is
A Flutter plugin for scanning barcodes and QR codes using the device camera, backed by CameraX/ML Kit on Android, AVFoundation/Apple Vision on iOS and macOS, and ZXing on web. It supports real-time detection, multiple barcode formats, scan windows, image analysis, and camera lens controls.

## Use cases
- scan qr codes in a flutter app
- read barcodes with the phone camera
- decode barcode from an image file
- build a qr code login flow in a mobile app
- scan barcodes on the web with a browser camera
- restrict scanning to a region of the camera preview

## When to choose
- you are building a Flutter app that needs camera-based barcode or QR scanning on Android, iOS, macOS, or web
- you need real-time scanning with platform-native detection backends
- you want to decode barcodes from still images or control camera lenses and zoom

## When to avoid
- you need Linux or Windows desktop support
- your app is not built with Flutter or Dart
- you need to generate QR codes rather than scan them
