possible to add a way to generically call other parsing libraries, or wrappers around other parsing libraries? about quagga2

with the current reader architecture, it doesn't look like it's possible to pass a reader anything but a small amount of an image that the code in barcode_locator has determined is likely to be a barcode. I'll probably take a stab next weekend at adding an ability to pass a complete image to a reader, and see if that's an interesting place to go.

i take that previous statement back, as the fork that implemented qr-code reading does exactly what i think is needed.

I'm thinking that perhaps expanding the 'readers' support to allow you to pass an object to it that contains a reader, rather than just an array of strings, might be an excellent way to implement something like that. Or have a Quagga.registerReader sort of function that will allow you to plug in a new reader from external code, before you call Quagga.init()...
