Comparative Analysis of Zxing and HUAWEI Scan Kit - Huawei Developers

Recently, I've been developing an educational app, and decided to integrate HUAWEI Scan Kit. I had integrated Zxing before. It only has one integration method. By contrast, there are several different ways to integrate HUAWEI Scan Kit. Which one should I choose? I thought that I'd share my experience with both Zxing and HUAWEI Scan Kit, and compare them, in case you might find the differences helpful during your development.
If you have ever used Zxing before, you've likely noticed how simple it is to integrate. The Zxing SDK can be integrated with only a few lines of code. This is because Zxing does not provide a UI, and lacks certain auxiliary functions, such as Auto Zoom and Flashlight On/Off. If you need any of those features, you'll need to develop them on your own.
Then there's HUAWEI Scan Kit, which can be integrated in multiple modes: Default View, Customized View, MultiProcessor, etc. The Default View mode provides a default UI, and a series of auxiliary functions such as Auto Zoom and Flashlight On/Off. If you can't be bothered to develop these functions by yourselves, I would suggest selecting the Default View mode.
In Customized View mode, you can customize the UI. Scan Kit only provides basic functions, like barcode scanning and decoding, and applies a blank layout. More advanced functions, like Flashlight On/Off, would need to be developed on your own, so the integration tends to be more complex.
When Scan Kit is integrated in MultiProcessor mode, it is capable of scanning multiple barcodes at the same time. So you can use this integrate mode, if simultaneous scanning is a big priority for your app.
Here's an overview of some of the key differences:

}
HUAWEI Scan Kit provides two types of packages: Lite and Pro. The size of a Lite package is 700 KB, while the Pro package is a much larger 3.3 MB. The two packages only differ slightly on non-Huawei phones, and thus, developers who don’t have stringent demands for package size and use non-Huawei phones can select the Pro version.
