QR Code Generator 2.1.0 now supports vCard format 3.0.
Here we will describe the specifications and give some examples.
Specification:
A vCard contains one ore more vCard objects. The content of one vCard object is encompassed within BEGIN:VCARD and END:VCARD. All vCards must contain the VERSION property, directly after the BEGIN tag.
Reference specification for vCard 3.0 is contained in RFC 2425 and RFC 2426.
The content of a vCard contains PROPERTIES and their ATTRIBUTES in the following syntax:
PROPERTY[;PARAMETER]:attribute[;attribute]
where PROPERTY defines the type of attribute(s) and PARAMETER can give a more specified description of the PROPERTY.
An example vCard 3.0 may look like:
