Supported Barcode Types
Aspose.BarCode for JavaScript via C++ supports over 80 different barcode types utilized across various industries, including 1D (linear), 2D (such as QR codes), and postal symbologies. Detailed information about generating barcodes using these standards can be found in the Generation Specifics for Symbologies section.
Linear barcode types, also known as 1D barcodes, represent the first generation of one-dimensional barcodes. These barcodes encode information by varying the widths and spacings of parallel lines. Some 1D symbologies encode only numeric data, while others can include alphanumeric characters.
DataBar barcodes, previously referred to as RSS-14, include 1D and stacked 1D barcodes. They were developed to efficiently encode GS1 Application Identifier data.
2D barcodes use a two-dimensional approach to encode information, utilizing various symbols and shapes. These barcodes are more efficient as they can store more data per unit area and generally feature error correction capabilities.
Postal barcodes are specialized symbologies used by postal services across different countries.
HIBC barcodes encode data in a specific format designed for the health industry. They use both 1D and 2D barcodes to encode alpha-numeric data.
GS1 barcodes utilize other 1D and 2D barcodes to encode GS1 Application Identifier data.
