Biip interprets the data in barcodes.

---

Biip is a Python library for making sense of the data in barcodes.

The library can interpret the following formats:

• GTIN-8, GTIN-12, GTIN-13, and GTIN-14 numbers, commonly found in EAN-8, EAN-13, and ITF-14 barcodes.

• GS1 AI element strings, commonly found in GS1-128 barcodes.

• UPC-A and UPC-E numbers, as found in UPC-A and UPC-E barcodes.

For a quickstart guide and a complete API reference, see the documentation.

    symbology_identifier=SymbologyIdentifier(
        value=']E0',
        symbology=Symbology.EAN_UPC,
        modifiers='0',
