“A QR reader (eq. for Quick Response code) is a specific matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) that is readable by special QR barcode readers or cam smartphones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a rectangular pattern on a white background. The data encoded may be text, URL, etc.” (Wikipedia)

Unlike other solutions, this website provides an online way to read QR Codes as no software installation is required.

The source code of the QR Code reader is on GitHub (https://github.com/blockchain/jsqrcode).
