X2V

X2V is an open source microformats XSLT implementation by Brian Suda that parses hCard or hCalendar events in (X)HTML and transforms them into the corresponding vCard (.vcf) or iCalendar (.ics) file respectively.

The latest beta and development versions of X2V can be tested at:

http://suda.co.uk/projects/X2V/
- version 0.9.7 is the latest version, and it supports:
- hCard to vCard
- hCalendar to iCalendar
- value-class-pattern (nearly complete support of dates time separation, see value-class-date-time-tests)

- Status: Up.
Technorati hosts a deployment of X2V for converting hCard contacts or hCalendar events at:
