Aspose.BarCode for JasperReports is a lightweight, pure‑Java extension that brings barcode generation to JasperReports and JasperServer. It integrates directly into JRXML templates, allowing report designers to add scan‑friendly barcodes without external services or custom rendering tools. Deployed as a single JAR, it supports more than 80 barcode symbologies across 1D, 2D, and postal formats and produces consistent, high‑quality barcode images at report render time. Barcodes can be bound to fields, parameters, and datasets, making the component suitable for invoices, packing slips, tickets, statements, and operational reports where readability and precision are essential.

Features

Barcode Rendering in JasperReports Templates

• Add barcodes to JRXML templates without altering existing reporting workflows.
• Bind barcodes to fields and report parameters for dynamic values.
• Generate barcodes during export to PDF and other formats as part of the standard report pipeline. Single JAR Deployment
• Deploy by copying one JAR to JasperReports or JasperServer.
• Keeps installation simple across development, QA, and production environments. Print‑Ready Image Output
• Render raster formats: PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, EXIF.
• Render vector formats: SVG and EMF for crisp printing and scaling.
• Ideal for labels, invoices, shipping documents, and enterprise reporting. Broad Symbology Support (80+ types) Matrix / 2D Codes: QR Code, MicroQR, rMQR, Data Matrix, Industrial Data Matrix (DPM), Aztec, Han Xin, MaxiCode, DotCode Linear / 1D Codes: UPCA, UPCE, EAN13, EAN14, EAN8, Code 128, DataBar, ITF Postal & Composite: GS1, ECI, composite barcodes, HIBC, SwissQR, Royal Mailmark System Requirements & Compatibility
• Works with JasperReports 2.0+ and 3.0+ and JasperServer.
• Runs on Java SE (J2SE) 5.0 or higher.
• Deploy via Maven or manual JAR placement.
• Supports Windows, Linux, and macOS environments. Developer Integration
• Includes sample code for barcode attribute groups, field‑driven barcode generation, and PDF export workflows.
• Exports high‑quality barcodes in automated JasperReports pipelines using ReportBuilder and standard Jasper exporters.

Benefits

• Native JasperReports integration: No additional rendering service required; barcodes are embedded directly at report compilation and export.
• Consistent output quality: Produces sharp, scannable barcodes suitable for print, PDF export, and digital documents.
• Large symbol coverage: Over 80 supported symbologies enable use cases in logistics, billing, compliance, and inventory.
• Lightweight deployment: A single JAR simplifies updates and avoids complex dependency chains.
• Flexible design: Barcode values, styles, and attributes can be controlled through parameters, templates, or dataset bindings.
• Reliable for operational documents: Ideal for invoices, shipping labels, tickets, warehouse documents, and asset reports.
