qrencoder : Make QR codes in R

There is another package on CRAN -- qrcode -- that is not C-backed.

Quick Response codes (QR codes) are a type of matrix bar code and can be used to authenticate transactions, provide access to multi-factor authentication services and enable general data transfer in an image. QR codes use four standardized encoding modes (numeric, alphanumeric, byte/binary, and kanji) to efficiently store data. Matrix barcode generation is performed efficiently in C via the included 'libqrencoder' library created by Kentaro Fukuchi.

The following functions are implemented:

• qrencode: Return a QR encoded string as a matrix
• qrencode_df: Return a QR encoded string as an x, y, z data.frame
• qrencode_png: Return a QR encoded string as a base 64 encoded inline png
• qrencode_raster: Return a QR encoded string as a raster object
