Technical Summary
This specification defines a data model and JSON representation of
contact card information that can be used for data storage and
exchange in address book or directory applications. It aims to be an
alternative to the vCard data format and to be unambiguous,
extendable and simple to process. In contrast to the JSON-based
jCard format, it is not a direct mapping from the vCard data model
and expands semantics where appropriate.
Working Group Summary
There was nothing in the WG process that is worth noting,
no controversy about particular points
or particularly rough decisions.
This document saw IESG Review in April 2023. Shortly after, an ARTART review also arrived. Both of these reviews required substantive changes to the draft. To confirm community consensus on these changes, a second IETF LC on the draft was issued in late September 2023.
