Yobi365 BarcodeBuilder: precise barcode generation for print-critical workflows
BarcodeBuilder is a dedicated microservice for generating standards-compliant barcodes as SVG, designed for environments where print accuracy, predictability, and operational control matter.
It isolates barcode generation from application logic, legacy systems, and document pipelines, exposing a simple, secure API that delivers consistent results across labels, packaging, and PDFs.
What it does
- Generates linear and matrix barcodes as clean, resolution-independent SVG.
- Supports industry-standard formats such as EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, Code128, Code39, and QR Code.
- Applies GS1 nominal sizing by default, ensuring scannability and print compliance.
- Allows explicit control over dimensions for label printers, packaging, and documents.
- Exposes a single, predictable API suitable for automation and batch processing.
What it does not do
- Does not embed barcode logic inside business applications or ERPs.
- Does not depend on browser rendering, client fonts, or UI frameworks.
- Does not attempt to manage print workflows, queues, or devices.
- Does not enforce client-specific business rules or data validation beyond the barcode standard.
Why BarcodeBuilder exists
Barcode generation is deceptively complex when accuracy matters. Small inconsistencies in sizing, fonts, or rendering engines can lead to unreadable codes, failed scans, and costly operational errors.
BarcodeBuilder exists to remove that risk. By centralising barcode generation in a dedicated service, organisations gain consistency, repeatability, and confidence — regardless of how many systems consume the output.
Typical use cases
- Product labels and packaging identifiers.
- Logistics and warehouse labels.
- PDF catalogs, price lists, and technical sheets.
- Legacy systems that cannot reliably render barcodes themselves.
- Batch generation of barcodes for automated workflows.
Security and operational control
BarcodeBuilder is designed for controlled environments. All requests are validated and authenticated, and the service performs no persistent storage of client data.
This makes it suitable for integration in regulated or sensitive operational contexts, where predictability and isolation are more important than convenience features.
Integration model
BarcodeBuilder integrates through a simple HTTP API and can be consumed by:
- Web applications and back-office systems.
- Document generation pipelines (e.g. PDFBuilder).
- Batch jobs and automation scripts.
- Legacy systems via controlled proxies or tunnels.
The output is a standards-compliant SVG, ready to be embedded, stored, or printed without further processing.
