GS1JS parses GS1 bar codes with fix-length and variable length application identifiers (AI). It recognizes code content of mixed nature meaning it can read codes that contain fixed-length AND variable length identifiers.
It does not check for the symbology identifier at this point but instead parses only codes of type ]d2 which corresponds to data matrix.
It reads these fixed-length AIs defined in the official doc: http://www.gs1.org/docs/barcodes/GS1_DataMatrix_Guideline.pdf Table 2-2 "Element Strings with Pre-Defined Length Using Application Identifiers (GS1 General Specifications Figure 5.10.1-2)"
The parsing process was highly inspired by the given chart in the doc: http://www.gs1.org/docs/barcodes/GS1_DataMatrix_Guideline.pdf Figure 2-1 "Processing of Data from a scanned GS1 DataMatrix Symbol"
More on the symbology identifier here: http://www.gs1.org/docs/barcodes/GS1_General_Specifications.pdf Figure 5.1.2-2. "ISO/IEC 15424 symbology identifiers used in the GS1 system"
