looking for best barcode scanner library, besides zxing

Question

I am looking for some best barcode libraries on all platforms. I know zxing but wondering more libraries besides it. Any help is appreciated~

You have tagged this question with Android, iOS, Symbian. You want one for each or you want just one for all ? — 0x8badf00d, Nov 14 '11 at 03:34
Nowadays, this question would be very much on-topic on [Software recommendations](https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/) - ***if*** it were to be reworded to give a list of requirements & features, rather than best/better than. — Mawg says reinstate Monica, Nov 13 '19 at 06:31

As nithin mention Barcode scanner libraries, one more I would like to add ZBar Barcode Library.

http://zbar.sourceforge.net/

This also contains support for various platform. And it is Open Source.

Scandit has a Barcode Scanner SDK that is available for Android, iOS and Phonegap. There is a free community edition that scans UPC/EAN and QR codes. The SDK also works with fixed-focus cameras (such as on the iPad 2).

(Disclaimer: I'm a developer at Scandit.)

Best PDF417 decoding library we've worked with by far was Manatee Works's library, already ported to most available mobile development platforms and cross-platform frameworks.

@SeanOwen: Whats the problem you are facing with Zxing? – Parth Bhatt Nov 14 '11 at 10:42

I'm not facing any problem (I'm the developer in fact) -- just noting that the OP seemed to want to try an alternative, and this library is mostly zxing inside too. – Sean Owen Nov 14 '11 at 10:59
