GENERAL INFORMATION
===================
Libqrencode is a library for encoding data in a QR Code symbol, a 2D symbology
that can be scanned by handy terminals such as a mobile phone with CCD. The
capacity of QR Code is up to 7000 digits or 4000 characters and has high
robustness.

Libqrencode accepts a string or a list of data chunks then encodes in a QR Code
symbol as a bitmap array. While other QR Code applications generate an image
file, using libqrencode allows applications to render QR Code symbols from raw
bitmap data directly. This library also contains a command-line utility outputs
a QR Code symbol as a PNG image.


SPECIFICATION
=============
Libqrencode supports QR Code model 2, described in JIS (Japanese Industrial
Standards) X0510:2004 or ISO/IEC 18004. Most of features in the specification
are implemented such as:
- Numeric, alphabet, Japanese kanji (Shift-JIS) or any 8 bit code can be
  embedded
- Optimized encoding of a string
- Structured-append of symbols
- Micro QR Code (experimental)

Currently the following features are not supported:
- ECI and FNC1 mode
- QR Code model 1 (deprecated)
