3 Reasons to Choose the Syncfusion Blazor Barcode Generator

Our Syncfusion Blazor Barcode Generator is the first component of its type available on the market. It is implemented with a standard native approach and supports all the native Blazor functionalities.

In this blog, we are going to discuss three solid reasons to choose the Syncfusion Blazor Barcode Generator to create barcodes, QR codes, and data matrices:

  • Hosting models
  • Performance
  • Export options

Hosting models

Syncfusion Blazor Barcode Generator supports two types of hosting models:

  • Blazor server application
  • Blazor WebAssembly (WASM)

Most of the other .NET framework libraries support either server applications or WASM applications. Syncfusion Blazor Barcode Generator is the first native barcode component that supports both client and server-side applications. Other libraries need separate server-side functionalities to render the barcode.

Performance

Most JavaScript .NET libraries require DOM access to create barcodes in a webpage. But our Syncfusion Barcode Generator was created completely with a native approach. So, it does not require any DOM access to render or update properties dynamically. The Syncfusion Barcode Generator is 2X faster than those of any other JS or .NET library.

Export options

Most barcode generators on the market can’t export barcodes, QR codes, or data matrix codes into image formats. This is because their Blazor client-side applications don’t support image manipulations.

But our Syncfusion Blazor Barcode Generator can export barcodes as images (PNG, JPEG, and base 64 image formats) in both server and WebAssembly applications.

These are the three best reasons to choose our Syncfusion Blazor Barcode Generator to create barcodes, QR codes, and a data matrix generator. Let’s talk more about the component itself.

Using barcodes to enter product details can be quicker and more accurate than manually typing in item codes. If your products are going to be sold in other retail stores, you’ll need to use standardized formats and make sure your barcodes are unique. Syncfusion barcode components follow all the global standards to render different barcode types.

Syncfusion Blazor Barcode Generator is a simple tool that you can use to create UPC-A, EAN-8, EAN-13, code39, code128, and other types of barcodes. These symbologies cover a wide range of uses, including identification of products, logistics, inventory management, procurement, and advertising. Use the following code example to render a basic barcode.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.BarcodeGenerator

<SfBarcodeGenerator Width="200px" Height="150px" Type="@BarcodeType.Code39" Value="SYNCFUSION">

</SfBarcodeGenerator>

The output for this code example will be like the following screenshot.

Syncfusion Blazor QR Code generator

The Syncfusion QR code generator lets you customize QR codes with different fill colors, background colors, and more. You can also customize the display text like the margin, font size, and font family. Use the following code example to render a QR code.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.BarcodeGenerator

<SfQRCodeGenerator Width="200px" Height="150px" ForeColor="red" Value="Syncfusion">

</SfQRCodeGenerator>

The output of this code example will be like the following screenshot.

Syncfusion Blazor Data Matrix generator

Syncfusion Blazor Data Matrix generator supports advanced encoding error checking and correction algorithms. Those algorithms allow the recognition of barcodes that are up to 60% damaged. The Data Matrix generator is being used to encode products and serial number information on electrical rating plates. Use the following code example to render a data matrix code.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.BarcodeGenerator

<SfDataMatrixGenerator Width="200" Height="150" Value="SYNCFUSION">

</SfDataMatrixGenerator>

The output for this code example will be like the one in the following screenshot.
