Public API changes and New Features
Python API redesign
The Python API has been redesigned to follow Python language conventions. This release introduces breaking changes and is not backward compatible with previous versions.
Breaking changes
The API is not backward compatible with previous versions. Existing Python projects must update imports, method names and property access according to the new API conventions.
Module rename
The root module was renamed:
asposebarcode → aspose_barcode
All imports must be updated. Example: Old
from asposebarcode import BarCodeReader
from asposebarcode import BarcodeGenerator
New
from aspose_barcode.recognition import BarCodeReader
from aspose_barcode.generation import BarcodeGenerator
Package structure changes
Classes were reorganized into dedicated subpackages:
| Package | Purpose |
|---|---|
| generation | barcode generation API |
| recognition | barcode recognition API |
| complex_barcode | complex barcode API |
| core | core barcode API |
Classes can no longer be imported from the root module.
Class and file layout
The internal module layout now follows Python conventions:
- each class is located in a separate file
- file names follow the
snake_casenaming style - modules are organized as real Python packages instead of grouped source files
Naming convention changes
The public API now follows Python naming conventions.
CamelCasemethod names →snake_casecamelCasemembers →snake_case- properties follow Python naming style
Examples:
ReadBarCodes() → read_barcodes()
GetCodeText() → code_text
GetParameters() → parameters
Save() → save()
Properties instead of getters/setters
Accessor methods were removed and replaced with Python properties.
Old
text = result.getCodeText()
height = generator.getParameters().getBarcode().getBarHeight()
New
text = result.code_text
height = generator.parameters.barcode.bar_height
Removal of get/set accessor methods
The following accessor patterns were removed:
getX()
setX()
isX()
These are now replaced with property access:
x
Constructor changes
Constructors were simplified and updated to follow Python initialization patterns. Example: Old
reader = BarCodeReader(image, None, DecodeType.CODE_128)
New
reader = BarCodeReader(image, DecodeType.CODE_128)
Additional constructors are provided for advanced scenarios:
reader = BarCodeReader.from_image_with_areas(image, [10,10,100,100], DecodeType.CODE_128)
File structure changes
Classes can no longer be imported from the root module.
Old
from asposebarcode import *
New
from aspose_barcode.generation import BarcodeGenerator
from aspose_barcode.recognition import BarCodeReader
Usage examples
Barcode generation:
from aspose_barcode import generation
generator = generation.barcode_generator.BarcodeGenerator(generation.encode_types.EncodeTypes.QR, "Hello!")
params = generator.parameters
params.auto_size_mode = generation.auto_size_mode.AutoSizeMode.NEAREST
params.image_height.millimeters = 45
params.image_width.millimeters = 45
params.barcode.codetext_parameters.location = generation.code_location.CodeLocation.NONE
pil_image = generator.generate_barcode_image()
Barcode recognition:
from aspose_barcode import recognition
reader = recognition.barcode_reader.BarCodeReader("/image.jpg", recognition.decode_type.DecodeType.GS_1_CODE_128)
reader.quality_settings = recognition.quality_settings.QualitySettings.high_performance()
barcode_results = reader.read_barcodes()
print(reader.found_barcodes[0].code_text)
