QR Codes can be used to encode text or other data besides URL (Uniform Resource Locator). Nowadays, Smartphones (both iPhone and Android) have apps that let you read QR Codes via instant capture. Because of this, they are also known as two-dimensional barcodes, hard links or physical world hyperlinks.
