Enhanced iOS barcode scanner library?

Tags:

We're creating an iOS app that basically scans badges at events and collects contact info. We're looking for an iOS library that can read not only the number of the barcode, but also any additional information that's included (contact info). Does anyone have any library suggestions or will this have to be a custom library? Thanks in advance!

Use AVCaptureMetaDataOutput in AVFoundation which works with minimum deployment target iOS 7.
