Hope your Monday is going great. Here’s a guest post from Clifford Hung (hungc on Github) on two new contributions to the BlackBerry Open Source community.

ZXing (pronounced “zebra crossing”) is an open-source, multi-format 1D/2D barcode image processing library implemented in Java, with ports to other languages. It decodes barcodes on the device without communicating with a server. ZXing currently support these formats:

UPC-A and UPC-E	EAN-8 and EAN-13	Code 39
Code 93	Code 128	ITF
Codabar	RSS-14 (all)	QR Code
Data Matrix	PDF 417 (alpha)	Aztec (beta)

The port of ZXing 2.0 for BlackBerry® 10 devices is available in our ZXing repository at GitHub; note that only the C++ source under zxing/cpp/core was ported. See the README.md for build instructions.

The ZXing unit test suite uses CppUnit, so a port of version 1.12.1 of this C++ unit testing framework was also done for BlackBerry 10 and it is available at the CppUnit repository. Build instructions are listed in the README.md.
