-## Choosing an API
-
-The SDK provides two approaches for integrating barcode scanning capabilities:
-
-### Ready-To-Use (RTU) API — BarcodeScanner
-
-The RTU API offers the quickest path to a working barcode scanner (**Recommended for most users**):
-
-- **One-line integration** – Launch a full scanner with a single API call
-- **Built-in UI** – Pre-designed viewfinder and scan region highlighting
-- **Simple configuration** – Customize behavior through intuitive config objects
-
-### Foundational APIs
-
-If you are looking for a fully customizable barcode decoding library with complete control over the scanning process and UI, you are welcome to use the Foundational APIs.
