libtext-vcardfast-perl 0.11-1

Package Information

Descriptionfast VCard parser with XS and pure-Perl backends

Text::VCardFast converts VCard data into a Perl hash structure and back. The same API is implemented twice: vcard2hash_pp in pure Perl and vcard2hash_c as an XS wrapper around a C parser. The exported vcard2hash uses the XS version; hash2vcard serialises in pure Perl.

It was written for the calendar and contacts backend of the FastMail service, where the pure-Perl VCard parsers then available dominated request time. The parser handles property groups, folded lines and escaped parameter values across the VCard 3.0 and 4.0 formats.
