Steps for Scanning Data Matrix code in Java

Aspose.BarCode allows developers to read Data Matrix code barcodes from stream or image with few lines of code

Create a new object of BarCodeReader class
Set the source file path containing Data Matrix code
Pass the required barcode types to DecodeType as the second parameter
Loop through the decoding results
Get barcode text using the getCodeText method

Code to be executed - Java

    
// initialize reader with image & expected type
BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(var reader = new Aspose.BarCode.BarCodeReader("<file name>", DecodeType.DataMatrix);

// read code
while (reader.read()) {
    // print the code type & text
    System.out.println("Type: " + reader.getCodeType() + " Text: " + reader.getCodeText());
}
