- A barcode is a machine-readable representation of data relating to the object to which
it is attached. Originally barcodes systematically represented data by varying the
widths and spacings of parallel lines, and may be referred to as linear or one-dimensional
(1D). Later two-dimensional (2D) codes were developed, using rectangles, dots, hexagons
and other geometric patterns in two dimensions, usually called barcodes although they
do not use bars as such. Barcodes originally were scanned by special optical scanners
called barcode readers. Later applications software became available for devices that
could read images, such as smartphones with cameras.
