jCard, "The JSON Format for vCard" is a standard proposal of 2014 in RFC 7095 (ht contact
tps://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7095) . RFC 7095 describes a lossless
Standard RFC 6350 (https://d
method of representing vCard instances in JSON, using arrays of sequence-
atatracker.ietf.org/d
dependent tag–value pairs. jCard has been incorporated into several other oc/html/rfc6350)
protocols, including RDAP, the Protocol to Access White Space Databases (PAWS,
described in RFC 7545 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7545) ), and SIP, which (via RFC 8688 (https://datatracker.ietf.or
g/doc/html/rfc8688) ) uses it to provide contact information for the operator of an intermediary which has rejected a call.

hCard is a microformat that allows a vCard to be embedded inside an HTML page. It makes use of CSS class names to identify
each vCard property. Normal HTML markup and CSS styling can be used alongside the hCard class names without affecting the
webpage's ability to be parsed by a hCard parser. h-card is the microformats2 update to hCard.

MeCard is a variation of vCard made by NTT DoCoMo for smartphones using QR codes. It uses a very similar syntax, but in a
more consolidated way as the storage space on QR codes is limited. It's also limited in the amount of data that can be stored, not
just by the standard but the size of QR codes.

Exemplu

An example of a simple vCard (from RFC 6350 of August, 2011, abbreviated):

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:4.0
FN:Simon Perreault
N:Perreault;Simon;;;ing. jr,M.Sc.
BDAY:--0203
GENDER:M
EMAIL;TYPE=work:[email protected]
END:VCARD
This is the vCard for "Simon Perreault" (the author of RFC 6350), with his birthday (omitting the year), email address and gender.
