Research direction

The payload names no source files or tests; the work is a question about which package to use. Start by checking the project's README or package notes for WinUI 3 and UWP support, and compare them with the ZXing.Net.Bindings.Windows.Compatibility package the reporter mentions. Done means a clear answer on which package suits a WinUI 3 project, ideally added to the docs. The issue has been open 700 days with no recent reply, so confirm with a maintainer before investing time.

Description

Hello,

For a UWP project we use the ZXing.Net package.
We are in the process of migrating this project to WinUI3 and the ZXing.Net package is apparently not compatible with this environment.
We found another package: "ZXing.Net.Bindings.Windows.Compatibility" which seems suitable for the WinUI3 environment.

But the question is :
Given the large amount of existing ZXing package, what is the best choice for a WinUI3 project?

Thanks in advance,
Best regards
