7.8.3 For developers: Baracoda Software Development Kit (SDK)

The Baracoda SDKs are created for developers who want to integrate the scanner collection functions into their own program code, thus enabling end-users to run a single software program. This eliminates the need to run the Baracoda Manager software in addition to a third party application.

BaracodaManager uses libraries that provide an abstraction layer allowing developers to integrate Baracoda products into their own application very rapidly. Moreover, these libraries will deal with all the low-level routines, timeouts, connections and configuration management.

These libraries are available to developers for free (www.baracoda.com for more information)
