Easily add barcode scanning technology into your own mobile project.

Barcode API

Do you have this great mobile application or project that needs to read 1D/2D barcodes but do not know where to start?

Worry no more, QuickMark v3.8 Advanced Edition allows developers to take advantage of QuickMark's mobile barcode reader application and its wide range of device support for decoding and retrieval of the decoded data.

As long as the end user has QuickMark v3.8 Advanced Edition, your application will be able to wake up QuickMark when you need to decode a barcode. Once the barcode is recognized, the data will be returned to your application while QuickMark quietly closes itself.

Once you have developed your amazing application, simply download QuickMark v3.8 Standard Edition for testing or upgrade to the Advanced Edition for full capabilities.
