hCard Implementations

This page is an informative section of the hCard specification.

The following implementations have been developed which either generate or parse hCards. If you have such an hCard implementation, feel free to add it to the top of the New Implementations section. If you have a page or site which just publishes hCards, please use hcard-examples-in-wild instead.

New Implementations

Add new implementations here for evaluation and classification into the below taxonomy of implementations.

Please help out by trying out these implementations and once verified move them to the grouped sections below. For now we are keeping them in grouped sections (rather than a table) because there are so many differnt kinds of implementations that it does not quite make sense to have columns that apply to all implementations. - Tantek

Authoring

Implementations you can use to author, create, and publish hCards.

Web-based Creators

Internet Explorer extension

Open Source

Open source libraries of hCard parsers and other related code for building hCard implementations. Note: it is very likely that above implementations may be duplicated in this section. That's ok.

Javascript
The hCard creator (hCard creator feedback) is a very simple, yet illustrative, open source user interface / form / script which creates an hCard in real-time as you type in a set of contact information.
Perl
PHP
Python
Ruby

Java
Objective-C
  • Lustro is a free and open source Mac OS X application that exports your Address Book contacts to CSV, tab delimited, Google Contacts and hCards off course. It creates a single XHMTL webpage with all your contacts as hCards.

Additional Applications

This section should probably be incorporated into hcard-brainstorming.

There are numerous potential additional uses and applications for hCards on the Web. The following are merely a few thoughts and possibilities that folks have come up with:

  • As an open standard/format for Gravatars.
    • Like this.
    • Wordpress plugin with hCard based replacement for gravatar is in the make. Alper 12:59, 8 Aug 2007 (PDT)

The hCard specification is a work in progress. As additional aspects are discussed, understood, and written, they will be added. These thoughts, issues, and questions are kept in separate pages.
