Han Xin Code Barcode Generator API
Chinese standard for native character encoding
Han Xin Code is a two-dimensional matrix barcode developed in China as a national standard (GB/T 21049-2007). It was designed specifically to efficiently encode Chinese characters (Hanzi) and other East Asian scripts.
The code uses a unique encoding system that allows Chinese characters to be stored more efficiently than in other 2D barcodes. It can encode up to 7,829 characters in Chinese mode or 4,350 characters in binary mode.
Han Xin Code features a distinctive alignment pattern and supports four error correction levels. It is particularly useful for applications in China requiring large amounts of Chinese text to be encoded.
Primary applications include government documents, logistics in China, and any application requiring efficient encoding of Chinese language content in barcode format.
