Barcode Data
QR Codes can have many different types of data, which determines how the code will be
generated. On top of just straightforward data, special data structures are used to trigger actions
on the device that reads them. This can include contact cards, phone numbers, URLs, emails,
etc.
To learn more about the specifications of the different QR code types, see the ZXing Project
barcode contents page.
