# Barcode Scanner

Zia Barcode Scanner enables you to scan the most commonly used linear and 2D barcode formats and decode the encoded
data. Barcode Scanner can detect formats like Codabar, EAN-13, ITF, UPC-A, QR Code, and more.

You can learn more from the Barcode Scanner
help page.

You can provide an input file of the format ._jpg_/._jpeg_ or ._png_. Refer to the
API documentation for the
request and response formats.

You can specify the barcode format using setFormat. If you enter the format as
ALL, Barcode Scanner automatically detects the format. It provides the decoded information as the
response.
