I also built a web app for barcode scanning. For testing quaggaJS is fine but it’s highly inconsistent and requires an extreme degree of customization to get adequate results. I recommend scandit. It’s a good production ready library with a very nice web sdk.

My team was trying to get a JS solution working as well, using zxing-js. The barcode basically had to be perfect size, on a flat surface and no glare. we ended up swapping it out for ScandIT's Web SDK and have been very please with performance. As someone else said, it is quite expensive and being a public-facing web application, we had to get a per-scan license vs device license. We're going under contract for 1 year with a "shot in the dark" scan estimate and will renegotiate next year once we have usage statistics.

Would be nice to see if this new spec gets full adoption so we can avoid high licensing fees.

Not OP, but I looked into scandit. While excellent, it's quite expensive right?

Same here. Scandit was the best thing we tested but they quoted us $50k/yr. We don’t have many users that actually need that feature so the next best option was compiling zxing to wasm. That performed a little better than using the js version.

You’re right. I talked with the sales team and worked out a deal. They’re interested in user adoption.
