what's the difference between raw and parsed results? about python-zxing HOT 1 CLOSED

could you explain the meanings of the raw and the parsed?give an example is best.

It's based entirely on the underlying ZXing Java library, which offers various result parsers to try to understand the structure of the data in barcode text. 🤷‍♂️

For example, the GeoResultParser will parse geo: URIs into latitude, longitude, and elevation:

$ qrencode "geo:48.19858,16.37164,171" -o /tmp/test.png

$ zxing /tmp/test.png 
/tmp/test.png
=============
  Decoded GEO barcode in QR_CODE format.
  Raw text:    'geo:48.19858,16.37164,171'
  Parsed text: '48.19858, 16.37164, 171.0m'

For general-purpose barcode parsing, you should use the raw content. Only use the parsed content if you understand and trust how ZXing parses it, and actually want the parsed format.
