New subsets added to DecodeType

The new release of Aspose.Barcode provides additional Decode types which enhance the performance and ease of reading barcodes. You may use the newly added Decode types as shown below.

BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(folder + "Code11.png", 
DecodeType.TYPES_1D);
while (reader.read())
{
 String codeType = reader.getCodeType().toString();
 String codeText = reader.getCodeText();
 System.out.println(codeType + ", " + codeText);
}
result: Code11, 012345
 
BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(folder + "Postnet.png", 
DecodeType.POSTAL_TYPES);
while (reader.read())
{
 String codeType = reader.getCodeType().toString();
 String codeText = reader.getCodeText();
 System.out.println(codeType + ", " + codeText);
}
result: Postnet, 012345
 
BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(folder + "GS1Code128", 
DecodeType.MOST_COMMON_TYPES);
while (reader.read())

 System.out.println(codeType + ", " + codeText);
