Barcode

The Barcode API provides a mechanism to decode a raw barcode and extract its corresponding inner data. In order to achieve this, we make use of templates, which contain general structural details and rules about how to decode the barcode. A template has the following characteristics:

• Name

• Type, indicating what if it is an article barcode or a voucher for instance

• Minimum and maximum length

• Code identifiers and where to find them within the barcode

• List of rules about how to extract the data tokens

• List of validation rules

In order to decode a barcode, the following flow is applied:

• Try to match the barcode to the templates

• If more templates are available, we choose one of the matching templates

• Once we have chosen a template, we can use its rules to validate the barcode

• Regardless of whether the barcode is valid or not, we proceed to extract the data via the template data extraction rules
