hcard-implementations

2008-02-14T03:03:20Z

Samwilson: /* New Implementations */ added wordpress addressbook and cleaned up a bit. this page is messy.

<h1>hCard Implementations</h1>
{{TOC-right}}

This page is an '''informative''' section of the [[hcard|hCard specification]].

The following implementations have been developed which either generate or parse [[hcard|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.
