Generate Maxicode Barcode in Java.

Maxicode is a 2D barcode created with a combination of dots in a hexagonal shape. They are commonly used for supply chain management, object hyperlinking, and many other purposes. In some use cases, you may need to create a Maxicode for different requirements. Accordingly, this article explains how to create Maxicode barcodes with different encoding types, as well as with aspect ratio programmatically in Java.
