The GTIN gem provides very simple functionality for verifying checksums on EAN-13 and UPC-A barcode values. It also does very simple conversion between the two by left-padding with zeroes. This is not intended to be a complex gem, but is certainly functional for applications that require that barcode values be checked for valid checksums and length.
Inspired by the EAN gem by Pascal Belloncle (nano RAILS)
