Datamatrix Barcodes in LEADTOOLS

Datamatrix is a two-dimensional matrix barcode consisting of black and white square modules arranged in either a square or rectangular pattern. The encoded information can be text or binary. Typical data storage size is from a few bytes up to 2 kilobytes. The total storage of the encoded data depends on the symbol's dimensions.
