Use case: XSL-FO

A common use case for Barcode4J is generating barcodes in SVG format for XSL-FO documents.

There are two main possibilities for generating barcode in an XSL-FO environment using Barcode4J.

1. generate a barcode in SVG format during the XSLT stage
• If you're using the Apache Xalan-J XSLT Processor you can use the Xalan extension.
• If you're using the SAXON XSLT Processor from Michael Kay you can use the SAXON extension.
2. generate a barcode during XSL-FO processing
• If you work with Apache FOP, using the FOP extension will be the most attractive option.
