h-adr is a simple, open format for publishing people and organisations on the web. h-adr is one of several open microformat draft standards suitable for embedding data in HTML/HTML5.

h-adr is the microformats-2 replacement for adr. It is most commonly used as part of an h-card or h-event.

Example

Here is a simple minimal person example:

<p class="p-adr h-adr">
  <span class="p-street-address">17 Austerstræti</span>
  <span class="p-locality">Reykjavík</span>
  <span class="p-country-name">Iceland</span>
  <span class="p-postal-code">107</span>
</p>

Get started

The class h-adr is a root class name that indicates the presence of an h-adr.

p-street-address, p-extended-address and all the other h-adr property classnames define an element as a property of the h-adr.

See microformats-2-parsing to learn more about property classnames.

Properties

• p-street-address - house/apartment number, floor, street name
• p-extended-address - additional street details
• p-post-office-box
• p-locality - city/town/village
• p-region - state/county/province
• p-postal-code - postal code, e.g. ZIP in the US
• p-country-name - country name
• p-label - new in vCard4 (RFC6350)
• p-geo (or u-geo with a RFC 5870 geo: URL), optionally a nested h-geo
• p-latitude - metric latitude
• p-longitude - metric longitude
• p-altitude - metric altitude

For backward compatibility, microformats 2 parsers should detect the following root class name and property names. A microformats 2 parser may use existing microformats parsers to extract these properties. If an "h-adr" is found, don't look for an "adr" on the same element.

compat root class name: adr properties: (parsed as p- plain text unless otherwise specified)

• post-office-box
• extended-address
• street-address
• locality
• region
• postal-code
• country-name

Status

h-adr is a microformats.org draft specification. Public discussion on h-adr takes place on h-adr-feedback, the #microformats irc channel on irc.freenode.net, and microformats-new mailing list.

h-adr is ready to use and implemented in the wild, but for backwards compatibility you should also mark h-adrs up with classic adr classnames.

Background

h-adr is based on the existing adr specification, which was extracted from hCard in order to allow it to be used for applications other than contact information.

• h-geo can be nested in h-adr
• h-card and h-event often contain h-adr
