+## Legacy (UR1.0) Encoding and Decoding

+Encoding and decoding with the [UR1.0](https://github.com/CoboVault/Research/blob/master/papers/bcr-0005-ur.md) specification is supported.
+Note however that these classes are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

+LegacyURDecoder decoder = new LegacyURDecoder();
+while(!decoder.isComplete()) {
+    //Loop adding QR fragments to the decoder until it has a result
+    String qrText = getFromNextQR();
