Comparison

There are multiple barcode/qrcode libraries for typst such as

  1. https://github.com/jneug/typst-codetastic
  2. https://github.com/Midbin/cades

Here is a comparison of them.

Pros of this package:

  1. Support more barcode types
  2. Might be faster because the zint is written in C and compiled to wasm. These libraries are written in typst and javascript.

Cons of this package:

  1. Doesn’t provide enough customization options although it can be improved in the future.
