Barcode Scanner SDK for the Web

The Scandit barcode scanner SDK can be integrated into a web application in just a few lines of code. The JavaScript library works at scale by leveraging WebAssembly to bring powerful, reliable barcode scanning technology to web apps.

The SDK allows you to access cameras available on the device for video input, display a barcode scanner interface, configure in-depth settings for barcode symbologies and performance, and let users easily scan barcodes in your web application.
