Barcode_Scanner

This is a simple web application built using Flask (Python) and ZXing (Java) that allows users to upload an image containing a barcode or QR code, decode it, and display the result (text or link) on the webpage.

🚀 How It Works

1. Upload Image – User uploads a barcode/QR image via the web form.
2. Save File – Flask saves it to the uploads/ directory.
3. Run ZXing – Python runs ZXing’s Java CLI tool using subprocess.
4. Decode Output – ZXing extracts data (e.g., text or URL).
5. Show Result – Flask displays the decoded result in the browser.
