Barcodes have become very commonly used nowadays. You see them on consumable goods, gift cards, labels, and practically everywhere from grocery stores, retail stores, and many other places.
A QR code is one of several types of barcodes, and a QR code can store more information in a two-dimensional configuration compared to a one-dimensional barcode capable of numeric or character information. QR codes are very useful when sharing documents such as invoices, contracts, and records. Any digital asset can be securely and easily accessible via QR code.
