The Node.js MRZ (Machine Readable Zone) Scanner SDK is Node binding to Dynamsoft MRZ C++ SDK. It helps developers to build Node.js applications for scanning passport, Visa, ID card and travel documents on Windows and Linux.

Basic steps:

1. Set the license key.

   MrzScanner.initLicense('DLS2eyJoYW5kc2hha2VDb2RlIjoiMjAwMDAxLTE2NDk4Mjk3OTI2MzUiLCJvcmdhbml6YXRpb25JRCI6IjIwMDAwMSIsInNlc3Npb25QYXNzd29yZCI6IndTcGR6Vm05WDJrcEQ5YUoifQ==');

2. Create an MRZ scanner object.

   var obj = new MrzScanner();

3. Load the MRZ model via the mrz4nodejs module path.

   var ret = obj.loadModel(path.dirname(require.resolve('mrz4nodejs')));

4. Call decodeFileAsync() method to recognize MRZ from an image file.

   (async function () {
       try {
           var result = await obj.decodeFileAsync('<image-file-path>');
           console.log(result);
       } catch (error) {
           console.log(error);
       }
   })();

5. Parse the MRZ information:

   if (result.length == 2) {
       console.log(obj.parseTwoLines(result[0].text, result[1].text));
   }
   else if (result.length == 3) {
       console.log(obj.parseThreeLines(result[0].text, result[1].text, result[2].text));
   }
