----
<dfn style="font-style:normal;font-weight:bold">h-item</dfn> is a simple, open format for publishing details about arbitrary items. h-item is one of several open [[microformats|microformat]] draft standards suitable for embedding data in HTML/HTML5 on the web.

In practice, h-item is almost never used on its own, but rather as the '''p-item''' in an [[h-review]] if the item being reviewed cannot otherwise be represented by either an [[h-card]], [[h-product]], [[h-event]], or other specific microformat.

== Example ==
As the only properties defined by h-item are '''p-name''', '''u-url''' and '''u-photo''', in practice only the root class name is ever actually required thanks to [[microformats-2-implied-properties]]. Explicit properties may be needed for unusual markup structures or to represent multiple values, e.g. multiple URLs, photos. etc..

== Background ==
h-item was extracted from the classic [[hReview]] microformat as a way of referring to arbitrary reviewed items which cannot be represented by other microformats but which required a “shell” microformat due to the flat property requirement of microformats 2.
