QR code (Quick Response code) is a two-dimensional barcode that can store data in a matrix of black squares on a white background. In Python, you can generate QR codes using libraries like `qrcode`.
These QR codes can encode various types of data such as URLs, text, email addresses, and more. Once generated, QR codes can be displayed on screens, printed on paper, or saved as image files.
They are commonly used for tasks like sharing URLs, making payments, and adding contacts, among others.
