ZXingCpp.Win

A clean, minimal ZXingCpp package for Windows x64 — same binaries, same API, none of the bloat.

ZXingCpp.Win is a repack of the official ZXingCpp 0.5.3 binaries (the .NET bindings for zxing-cpp) with one goal: when you install it, your output directory stays clean. The official package ships native payloads for Linux, macOS and Windows ARM64; ZXingCpp.Win keeps only what a Windows desktop app actually needs.

High-performance barcode reader and writer supporting all major linear/matrix formats: QR Code, DataMatrix, Aztec, PDF417, Code128, Code39, EAN, UPC, ITF, DataBar, MaxiCode and more.

What's inside

Asset Source
lib/net8.0/ZXingCpp.dll Official managed assembly (net5.0 build)
lib/net461/ZXingCpp.dll Built from official sources (commit 287c85d) targeting .NET Framework 4.6.1 directly — no netstandard2.0 compatibility shims in your output
runtimes/win-x64/native/ZXing.dll Official win-x64 native binary

Zero external dependencies. The managed API is 100 % identical to ZXingCpp — your existing code works unchanged; only the package reference differs.

Requirements

  • Windows x64
  • net8.0 or .NET Framework 4.6.1+
  • PackageReference-style references
  • For .NET Framework projects: use AnyCPU (uncheck "Prefer 32-bit") or x64. Building for x86 produces a clear build-time error instead of a runtime failure.

Quick start

Write a QR code:

using ZXingCpp;

using var barcode = new Barcode("Hello ZXingCpp.Win!", BarcodeFormat.QRCode);
using var image = barcode.ToImage(new WriterOptions { Scale = 4 });
byte[] pixels = image.ToArray(); // grayscale bitmap, image.Width x image.Height

Read barcodes back:

using ZXingCpp;

var view = new ImageView(pixels, image.Width, image.Height, ImageFormat.Lum);
using var options = new ReaderOptions { TryHarder = true };
foreach (var result in BarcodeReader.Read(view, options))
    Console.WriteLine($"{result.Format}: {result.Text}");

When to use which package

  • Windows x64 desktop/service app, want a clean output directory? → ZXingCpp.Win
  • Need Linux, macOS or ARM64 targets? → use the official ZXingCpp instead
