Creating an XML vCard

• vcard4 may also be used to create XML vCards (RFC 6351).

• 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 reprXML method to create an XML vCard.

  const vc = new VCARD([...]);
  
  // to get XML card
  vc.reprXML();
  

• That method will return a string containing Simon's vCard in XML format as below.

  note

  The XML returned by the reprXML method is not prettied/indented. I've only prettied it in the code block below to allow us to read it easily.

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
