Is there a JSR 257 ("Contactless Communication API") C API available?

873 views Asked by At

I am trying to implement JSR 257 ("Contactless Communication API") API and required to use C programming language. I am wondering if anyone knows of similar C API available so one can use as a basis. What would be a best approach to do this? I am thinking of going ahead and starting to design/implement one but do not want to re-invent if something similar exists.

JSR 257 seems to be about various forms of "short range" communication, wireless. The examples of technologies given are RFID, near field communication, and barcodes.

  • This page lists various open source RFID implementations.
  • Near field communication is a rather new field, I was not able to find any existing APIs doing a quick search. My suggestion is to look at hardware vendors that make ICs supporting it, and searching from there. One such vendor seems to be NXP.
  • Zebra Crossing is a Java library for interpreting barcodes. It's not C as you requested, but it might be of interest anyway. There's talk of (so far only partial) C++ ports on the homepage, those might be of interest too.
