gs1encoder

JavaScript wrapper library for the GS1 Barcode Syntax Engine compiled as a Wasm by Emscripten.

The GS1 Barcode Syntax Engine provides routines that support the processing of GS1 syntax data, including Application Identifier element strings and GS1 Digital Link URIs, whether these are provided in raw or human-friendly format or as normalised scan data received from barcode readers.
