1. Introduction
vCard [RFC6350] is a data format for representing and exchanging
information about individuals and other entities. It is a text-based
format (as opposed to a binary format). This document defines xCard,
an XML [W3C.REC-xml-20081126] representation for vCard. The
underlying data structure is exactly the same, enabling a 1-to-1
mapping between the original vCard format and the XML representation.
The XML formatting may be preferred in some contexts where an XML
engine is readily available and may be reused instead of writing a
standalone vCard parser.
Earlier work on an XML format for vCard was started in 1998 by Frank
Dawson [VCARD-DTD]. Sadly, it did not take over the world.
2. Conventions
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
3. The Schema

5. Design Considerations
The general idea is to map vCard parameters, properties, and value
types to XML elements. For example, the "FN" property is mapped to
the "fn" element. In turn, that element contains a text element
whose content corresponds to the vCard property's value.
vCard parameters are also mapped to XML elements. They are contained
in the <parameters> element, which is contained in property elements.
For example, the "TYPE" parameter applied to the "TEL" property would
look like the following in XML:
<tel>
<parameters>
<type>
<text>voice</text>
<text>video</text>
</type>
</parameters>
<uri>tel:+1-555-555-555</uri>
</tel>
Parameters taking a list of values are simply repeated multiple
times, once for each value in the list.
Properties having structured values (e.g., the "N" property) are
expressed by XML element trees. Element names in that tree (e.g.,
"surname", "given", etc.) do not have a vCard equivalent since they
are identified by position in plain vCard.
Line folding is a non-issue in XML. Therefore, the mapping from
vCard to XML is done after the unfolding procedure is carried out.
Conversely, the mapping from XML to vCard is done before the folding
procedure is carried out.
A top-level <vcards> element is used as root. It contains one or
more <vcard> elements, each representing a complete vCard. The
<vcards> element MUST be present even when only a single vCard is
present in an XML document.
The group construct (Section 3.2 in [RFC6350]) is represented with
the <group> element. The "name" attribute contains the group's name.
For example:
<vcards>
<vcard>
<group name="contact">
<fn>...</fn>
<email>...</email>
</group>
<group name="media">
<photo>...</photo>
</group>
<categories>...</categories>
</vcard>
</vcards>
is equivalent to:
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:4.0
contact.FN=...
contact.EMAIL=...
media.PHOTO=...
CATEGORIES=...
END:VCARD
5.1. Extensibility
The original vCard format is extensible. New properties, parameters,
data types and values (collectively known as vCard elements, not to
be confused with XML elements) can be registered with IANA (see
[RFC6350], Section 10.2). It is expected that these vCard extensions
will also specify extensions to the XML format described in this
document.
New XML vCard property and parameter element names MUST be lower-
case. This is necessary to ensure that round-tripping between XML
and plain-text vCard works correctly.
Unregistered extensions (i.e., those starting with "X-" and
"VND-...-") are expressed in XML by using elements starting with "x-"
and "vnd-...-". Usage of XML namespaces [W3C.REC-xml-names-20091208]
for extensibility is RECOMMENDED for extensions that have no
equivalent in plain-text vCard. Refer to Section 6 for the
implications when converting between plain-text vCard and XML.
Examples:
<x-my-prop>
<parameters>
<pref><integer>1</integer></pref>
</parameters>
<text>value goes here</text>
</x-my-prop>
<ext:my-prop
ext:xmlns="http://example.com/extensions/my-vcard">
<parameters>
<pref><integer>1</integer></pref>
</parameters> <!-- Core vCard elements -->
<text>value goes here</text> <!-- are still accessible -->
</ext:my-prop>
Note that extension elements do not need the "X-" or "VND-" prefix in
XML. The XML namespace mechanism is sufficient.
A vCard XML parser MUST ignore XML elements and attributes for which
it doesn't recognize the expanded name. The normal behavior of
ignoring XML processing instructions whose target is not recognized
MUST also be followed.
In the original vCard format, the "VERSION" property was mandatory
and played a role in extensibility. In XML, this property is absent.
Its role is played by the vCard core namespace identifier, which
includes the version number. vCard revisions will use a different
namespace.
Parameters containing a list of values are expressed using a list of
elements in XML (e.g., the <type> element).
5.2. Limitations
The schema does not validate the cardinality of properties. This is
a limitation of the schema definition language. Cardinalities of the
original vCard format [RFC6350] MUST still be respected.
Some constructs (e.g., value enumerations in type parameters) have
additional ordering constraints in XML. This is a result of
limitations of the schema definition language, and the order is
arbitrary. The order MUST be respected in XML for the vCard to be
valid. However, reordering as part of conversion to or from plain
vCard MAY happen.
6. Format Conversions
When new properties or "X-" properties are used, a vCard<->xCard
converter might not recognize them or know what the appropriate
default value types are, yet they need to be able to preserve the
values. A similar issue arises for unrecognized property parameters.
As a result, the following rules are applied when dealing with
unrecognized properties and property parameters:
o When converting from vCard to xCard:
* Any property that does not include a "VALUE" parameter and
whose default value type is not known MUST be converted using
the value type XML element <unknown>. The content of that
element is the unprocessed value text.
* Any unrecognized property parameter MUST be converted using the
value type XML element <unknown>, with its content set to the
parameter value text, treated as if it were a text value, or
list of text values.
* The content of "XML" properties is copied as is to XML.
* Property and parameter XML element names are converted to
lower-case.
* Property value escaping is undone. For example, "\n" becomes a
NEWLINE character (ASCII decimal 10).
* Double-quoting of parameter values, as well as backslash
escaping in parameter values, is undone. For example,
PARAM="\"foo\",\"bar\"" becomes <param>"foo","bar"</param>.
o When converting xCard to vCard:
* Properties in the vCard 4 namespace:
+ If the converter knows of a specific plain-text
representation for this property, it uses it. For example,
the <adr> element corresponds to the "ADR" property, which
is encoded using comma-separated lists separated by
semicolons.
+ Otherwise, the property name is taken from the element name,
property parameters are taken from the <parameters> element,
and the content of the property is taken from the content of
the value element. If the property element has attributes
or contains other XML elements, they are dropped.
+ If a standard property's XML element contains XML elements
and attributes for which the converter doesn't recognize the
expanded name, they are dropped. Therefore, it is
RECOMMENDED to limit extensions to the property level to
ensure that all data is preserved intact in round-trip
conversions.
* Properties in other namespaces are wrapped as is inside an
"XML" property.
* Any <unknown> property value XML elements are converted
directly into vCard values. The containing property MUST NOT
have a "VALUE" parameter.
* Any <unknown> parameter value XML elements are converted as if
they were <text> value type XML elements.
* Property and parameter names are converted to upper-case.
* Property value escaping (Section 3.3 of [RFC6350]) is carried
out. For example, a NEWLINE character (ASCII decimal 10)
becomes "\n".
* Double-quoting of parameter values, as well as backslash
escaping in parameter values, is carried out. For example,
<param>"foo","bar"</param> becomes PARAM="\"foo\",\"bar\"".
For example, these two vCards are equivalent:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<vcards xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:vcard-4.0">
<vcard>
<fn><text>J. Doe</text></fn>
<n>
<surname>Doe</surname>
<given>J.</given>
<additional/>
<prefix/>
<suffix/>
</n>
<x-file>
<parameters>
<mediatype><text>image/jpeg</text></mediatype>
</parameters>
<unknown>alien.jpg</unknown>
</x-file>
<a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
href="http://www.example.com">My web page!</a>
</vcard>
</vcards>
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:4.0
FN:J. Doe
N:Doe;J.;;
X-FILE;MEDIATYPE=image/jpeg:alien.jpg
XML:<a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"\n
href="http://www.example.com">My web page!</a>
END:VCARD
7. Security Considerations
All the security considerations applicable to plain vCard [RFC6350]
are applicable to this document as well.
XML Signature [W3C.CR-xmldsig-core1-20110303] and XML Encryption
[W3C.CR-xmlenc-core1-20110303] can be used with xCard to provide
authentication and confidentiality.
8. IANA Considerations
8.1. Registration of the XML Namespace
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:vcard-4.0
Registrant Contact: The IESG <iesg@ietf.org>
XML: None. Namespace URIs do not represent an XML specification.
8.2. Media Type
This section defines the MIME media type [RFC4288] for use with
vCard-in-XML data.
To: ietf-types@iana.org
Subject: Registration of media type application/vcard+xml
Type name: application
Subtype name: vcard+xml
Required parameters: none
Optional parameters: charset as defined for application/xml in
[RFC3023]; per [RFC3023], use of the charset parameter with the
value "utf-8" is "STRONGLY RECOMMENDED".
Encoding considerations: Same as encoding considerations of
application/xml as specified in [RFC3023].
Security considerations: This media type has all of the security
considerations described in [RFC3023], plus those listed in
Section 7.
Interoperability considerations: This media type provides an
alternative syntax to vCard data [RFC6350] based on XML.
Published specification: This specification.
Applications that use this media type: Applications that currently
make use of the text/vcard media type can use this as an
alternative. In general, applications that maintain or process
contact information can use this media type.
Additional information:
Magic number(s): none
File extension(s): XML data should use ".xml" as the file
extension.
Macintosh file type code(s): none
