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.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Perreault Standards Track [Page 4]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
RFC 6351 xCard August 2011
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
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:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|

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\"".

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.
