Package Information

Descriptionconverter between vCard and JSContact

Text::JSContact converts contact data between vCard (RFC 6350) and JSContact (RFC 9553), following the mapping rules of RFC 9555 and the vCard extensions of RFC 9554.

It handles widely used vendor extensions as well as standard properties, notably those written by Apple's Contacts framework. A patch function applies changes to an existing vCard while preserving properties the mapping does not recognise, which matters for interoperability with clients that store data in unknown fields.
