mergExt is a package of externals for LiveCode. The externals provide additional functionality that is not available in the LiveCode engine and can’t be provided by a script. Often they provide access to native APIs or use open source code libraries.
mergExt includes the following externals

mergZXing
mergZXing is a LiveCode external that uses ZXing library to read barcodes via the back camera of a mobile device. Because of the need for the external to use the back camera of the device it does not function in the simulator. The external supports iOS 4 and up and devices with an autofocus camera (iPhone 3GS and up). Devices without autofocus may scan under certain conditions with better performance on 2D codes (QR, DataMatrix).
