QRCodeReader.swift is a Swift library for iOS that provides a simple QR code and machine-readable code scanner built on Apple's AVFoundation framework. It includes a ready-made view controller with camera view, scan area overlay, and camera switching controls.

Use cases

  • scan QR codes in an iOS app
  • read barcodes using the device camera
  • build a QR scanner view controller with overlay
  • switch between front and back cameras while scanning
  • replace ZXing or ZBar with a native Swift scanner

When to choose

  • you need a lightweight native Swift QR/barcode scanner on iOS 8+
  • you want a prebuilt scanner view controller with customizable overlay and buttons
  • you prefer AVFoundation-based scanning over third-party native ports

When to avoid

  • you need QR code generation, not scanning
  • your app targets platforms other than iOS
  • you need scanning features beyond AVFoundation's supported metadata types
