AAMVA DL/ID Card Barcode Support

Support for encoding and decoding AAMVA-compliant Driver License and Identification Card barcodes has been added through the new USADriveIdCodetext class. This enables working with the structured data embedded in U.S. Driver License PDF417 barcodes, including:

standardized mandatory fields,
optional AAMVA elements,
jurisdiction-specific subfiles,
automatic subfile construction (types, offsets, lengths),
full parsing and reconstruction of the codetext.

The implementation follows the AAMVA DL/ID Card Design Standard (2025).

Specification: AAMVA DL/ID Card Design Standard (2025)

var usDl = new USADriveIdCodetext();

usDl.SubfileDesignator.Add(new USADriveIdCodetext.SubfileProperties { Type = "DL" });
usDl.SubfileDesignator.Add(new USADriveIdCodetext.SubfileProperties { Type = "ZF" });
usDl.IssuerIdentificationNumber = "123456";
usDl.AAMVAVersionNumber = "10";
usDl.JurisdictionVersionNumber = "01";
usDl.JurisdictionSpecificSubfile.AddOrReplace("ZFA", "TEST");
usDl.JurisdictionSpecificSubfile.AddOrReplace("ZFB", "1234");
usDl.MandatoryElements.CustomerIDNumber = "99999999";
usDl.MandatoryElements.AddressState = "FL";
usDl.MandatoryElements.AddressCity = "MIAMI";
usDl.MandatoryElements.FirstName = "SAMPLENAME";
usDl.MandatoryElements.FamilyName = "SAMPLEFAMILYNAME";
usDl.MandatoryElements.DateOfBirth = new System.DateTime(1990, 1, 1);
usDl.MandatoryElements.AddressStreet1 = "9999 SAMPLE ST";
usDl.MandatoryElements.EyeColor = USADriveIdEyeColor.Brown;
usDl.MandatoryElements.Sex = USADriveIdSex.Female;
usDl.OptionalElements.HairColor = USADriveIdHairColor.Sandy;
usDl.OptionalElements.WeightPounds = 130;

using (var generator = new ComplexBarcodeGenerator(usDl))
using (BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(generator.GenerateBarCodeImage(), DecodeType.Pdf417))
    foreach (BarCodeResult result in reader.ReadBarCodes())
    {
        USADriveIdCodetext usaCodetext = ComplexCodetextReader.TryDecodeUSADriveId(result.CodeText);
        Console.WriteLine(usaCodetext.MandatoryElements.AddressCity);
        Console.WriteLine(usaCodetext.IssuerIdentificationNumber);
        Console.WriteLine(usaCodetext.NumberOfEntries);
        Console.WriteLine(usaCodetext.JurisdictionSpecificSubfile.Count);
        Console.WriteLine(usaCodetext.MandatoryElements.AddressCity);
        Console.WriteLine(usaCodetext.JurisdictionSpecificSubfile["ZFB"].Value);
