Creating a jCard

  • vcard4 may also be used to create a jCard, which is a JSON format for vCard data (RFC 7095).

  • The process of doing so is the same as explained in the first part of the tutorial. The only difference is at the very end.

  • Once we have the VCARD object, we call the reprJSON method to create a jCard.

    const vc = new VCARD([...]);

    // to get jCcard
    vc.reprJSON();

  • That method will return Simon's jCard as an object.
