## What it is
RQRCode is a Ruby library for generating QR codes with a simple interface exposing standard QR code options like error correction level, size, and encoding mode. It supports rendering QR codes into multiple output formats including plain text, SVG, and PNG.

## Use cases
- generate QR codes in a Ruby application
- render QR codes as SVG or PNG images
- encode URLs or text into QR codes
- create QR codes with custom error correction levels
- generate multi-segment QR codes with mixed encoding modes

## When to choose
- you need QR code generation in a Ruby project
- you want flexible output formats like SVG or PNG
- you need control over QR code size, mode, and error correction

## When to avoid
- you are not working in Ruby
- you need to decode or read QR codes rather than generate them
- you need QR code generation in a non-Ruby backend language

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: image-processing, graphics, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, developer-tools, graphics
- platform: ruby
- tags: qrcode, qr-code-generator, svg-rendering, png-rendering, ruby-gem
