There are two main types of barcodes used for storing, tracking, and identifying data across various industries: one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D).

1D Barcodes: These barcodes are used in retail, logistics, and healthcare. Examples include UPC, EAN, Code 39, Code 128, Codabar, ITF, and GS1 DataBar. They are typically read by laser scanners.
