<entry-title>Current Contact Formats</entry-title>

This page documents current contact schemas, formats, and efforts.

Though the vCard format is by far the most popular/successful contact format in desktop applications and mobile devices, (with hCard being the most widely adopted contact format on the web), it is useful to document other formats as well, even those created after vCard/hCard, noting especially their differences / extensions. In particular, as we document vcard-suggestions, it will be helpful to note how other formats may have attempted to solve similar problems.

In particular, please help incorporate the content from the subsection "vcard-suggestions: Suggestions made elsewhere" into the sections below (create new sections for additional formats as necessary).
