• Codabar
• Code 39
• Code 93
• Code 128
• EAN 8
• EAN 13
• QR Code

To be ported:

• Aztec Code

NuGet package

To install the main package:

PM> Install-Package Barcoder

To install the SVG renderer:

PM> Install-Package Barcoder.Renderer.Svg

PM> Install-Package Barcoder.Renderer.Image

Usage - render to SVG

var barcode = Code128Encoder.Encode("FOO/BAR/12345");
var renderer = new SvgRenderer();

using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
using (var reader = new StreamReader(stream))
{
    renderer.Render(barcode, stream);
    stream.Position = 0;

    string svg = reader.ReadToEnd();
    Console.WriteLine(svg);
}

Usage - render to PNG

var barcode = QtEncoder.Encode("Hello World!");
var renderer = new ImageRenderer();

using (var stream = new FileStream("output.png", FileMode.Create))
{
    renderer.Render(barcode, stream);
}

Feel free to dig into the linked GO project and help porting other barcode types.

Before you start, it's best to comment on the related issue so we don't work on the same type.
