+Package qrcode implements a QR Code encoder.<br>
|
|
|
+<br>
|
|
|
+A QR Code is a matrix (two-dimensional) barcode. Arbitrary content may be encoded, with URLs being a popular choice :)<br>
|
|
|
+<br>
|
|
|
+Each QR Code contains error recovery information to aid reading damaged or obscured codes. There are four levels of error recovery: Low, medium, high and highest. QR Codes with a higher recovery level are more robust to damage, at the cost of being physically larger.<br>

|
+<h1>Usage</h1>
|
|
|
+<pre>import qrcode "skip.org/go/qrcode"
|
|
|
+</pre>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<ul><li><b>Create a PNG image:</b><pre>var png []byte
|
|
|
+png, err := qrcode.Encode("https://example.org", qrcode.Medium, 256)
|
|
|
+</pre></li></ul>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<ul><li><b>Create a PNG image and write to a file:</b>
|
|
|
+<pre>err := qrcode.WriteFile("https://example.org", qrcode.Medium, 256, "qr.png")
|
|
|
+</pre></li></ul>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Both examples use the <code>qrcode.Medium</code> error Recovery Level and create a 256x256 pixel, black on white QR Code.<br>
|
|
|
+<br>
|
|
|
+The maximum capacity of a QR Code varies according to the content encoded and<br>
|
|
|
+the error recovery level. The maximum capacity is 2,953 bytes, 4,296<br>
|
|
|
+alphanumeric characters, 7,089 numeric digits, or a combination of these.<br>
