1. Introduction
1.1. Motivation
The JSContact data model and format [RFC9553] aims to be an
alternative to the widely used vCard standard [RFC6350] and jCard
format [RFC7095].
While applications might prefer JSContact to exchange contact card
data with other systems, they are likely to interoperate with
services and clients that only support vCard or jCard. Similarly,
existing contact data providers and consumers already using vCard or
jCard might also want to represent their contact data in JSContact.
To achieve this, this document defines standard rules to convert
contact data between JSContact and vCard (and consequently jCard).
1.2. Notational Conventions
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
1.3. ABNF Notations
The ABNF definitions in this document use the notations of [RFC5234].
ABNF rules not defined in this document are defined in either
[RFC5234] (such as the ABNF for CRLF, WSP, DQUOTE, VCHAR, ALPHA, and
DIGIT) or [RFC6350].
2. Converting vCard to JSContact
This section contains the conversion rules from the vCard to the
JSContact Card. It follows the same structure as vCard v4 [RFC6350].
Properties and parameters of vCard extension RFCs, including those
described in "vCard Format Extension for JSContact" [RFC9554], have
been added to the appropriate subsections.
2.1. General Rules
2.1.1. The Card uid Property
The UID property (Section 6.7.6 of [RFC6350]) in vCard is optional,
but the Card object's uid property (Section 2.1.9 of [RFC9553]) is
mandatory. Implementations that convert a vCard without a UID
property MUST generate a unique identifier as value for the uid
property. This value SHOULD be the same when converting the same
vCard multiple times, but how to achieve this is implementation-
specific.
2.1.2. Choosing Identifiers
Multivalued properties in JSContact are typically represented as a
JSON object where the object keys are of the Id type (Section 1.4.1
of [RFC9553]) and the object values are the converted vCard property.
In the absence of the PROP-ID parameter (see Section 2.3.18),
implementations are free to choose any identifier as key for such
entries. Whatever identifier generation scheme implementations use,
they MUST generate values that are valid according to the definition
of the Id type in [RFC9553]. For example, this could be an
incrementing number across all identifier keys in the Card object or
only unique within one JSON object.
2.2. vCard Value Data Types
2.2.1. BOOLEAN
The BOOLEAN type (Section 4.4 of [RFC6350]) converts to the JSContact
Boolean type (Section 1.3.2 of [RFC9553]).
2.2.2. DATE, TIME, DATE-TIME, DATE-AND-OR-TIME, and TIMESTAMP
The TIMESTAMP type (Section 4.3.5 of [RFC6350]) converts to the
UTCDateTime type (Section 1.4.5 of [RFC9553]), except for
anniversaries. For anniversaries, it converts to the Timestamp type
(Section 2.8.1 of [RFC9553]).
The DATE type (Section 4.3.1 of [RFC6350]) converts to a PartialDate
object (Section 2.8.1 of [RFC9553]) when used for an anniversary,
unless the DATE value only contains a month or a day (but not both).
The following temporal types do not convert to a JSContact datetime
type. Instead, vCard properties or parameters having such value
types convert as defined in Section 2.15.
* TIME (Section 4.3.2 of [RFC6350])
* DATE-TIME (Section 4.3.3 of [RFC6350])
* DATE-AND-OR-TIME (Section 4.3.4 of [RFC6350])
* DATE type values that only define a month or day (but not both)
2.2.3. INTEGER
The INTEGER type (Section 4.5 of [RFC6350]) converts to the JSContact
Int and UnsignedInt types (Section 1.4.2 of [RFC9553]).
2.2.4. FLOAT
The FLOAT type (Section 4.6 of [RFC6350]) converts to the JSContact
Number type (Section 1.3.2 of [RFC9553]).
2.2.5. LANGUAGE-TAG
The LANGUAGE-TAG type (Section 4.8 of [RFC6350]) converts to the
JSContact String type (Section 1.3.2 of [RFC9553]). The value MUST
be a language tag as defined in [RFC5646].
2.2.6. TEXT
The TEXT type (Section 4.1 of [RFC6350]) converts to the JSContact
String type (Section 1.3.2 of [RFC9553]).
2.2.7. URI
The URI type (Section 4.2 of [RFC6350]) converts to the JSContact
String type (Section 1.3.2 of [RFC9553]). The value MUST be a URI as
defined in Section 3 of [RFC3986]
2.2.8. UTC-OFFSET
The UTC-OFFSET type (Section 4.7 of [RFC6350]) either converts to a
String value containing an IANA Time Zone Database entry name (see
Section 2.8.2) or does not convert to any JSContact type. For the
latter, vCard properties or parameters having such values convert as
defined in Section 2.15.
2.3. vCard Parameters
This section contains the conversion rules for vCard parameters. A
rule typically applies only for specific vCard properties. To
convert a vCard parameter on an arbitrary vCard property, see
Section 2.15.2.
2.3.1. ALTID
The ALTID parameter (Section 5.4 of [RFC6350]) does not convert to an
IANA-registered property in JSContact, but several conversion rules
make use of this parameter to combine multiple vCard properties into
a single JSContact object instance. For an example of this, see
Section 2.6.1. To preserve the verbatim value of the ALTID
parameter, set the JSContact properties defined in Section 2.15.
2.3.2. AUTHOR
The AUTHOR parameter (Section 4.1 of [RFC9554]) on a NOTE property
converts to the Author object's uri property (Section 2.8.3 of
[RFC9553]). That Author object is set as the value of the Note
object's author property (Section 2.8.3 of [RFC9553]).
2.3.3. AUTHOR-NAME
The AUTHOR-NAME parameter (Section 4.2 of [RFC9554]) on a NOTE
property converts to the Author object's name property (Section 2.8.3
of [RFC9553]). That Author object is set as the value of the Note
object's author property.
2.3.4. CALSCALE
The CALSCALE parameter (Section 5.8 of [RFC6350]) set on a BDAY,
DEATHDATE, or ANNIVERSARY property converts to the PartialDate
object's calendarScale property (Section 2.8.1 of [RFC9553]).
2.3.5. CC
The CC parameter (Section 3.1 of [RFC8605]) on an ADR property
converts to the Address object's countryCode property
(Section 2.5.1.1 of [RFC9553]).
2.3.6. CREATED
The CREATED parameter (Section 4.3 of [RFC9554]) on a NOTE property
converts to the Note object's created property (Section 2.8.3 of
[RFC9553]).
2.3.7. DERIVED
The DERIVED parameter (Section 4.4 of [RFC9554]) does not convert to
JSContact. If the DERIVED parameter is set to "true" on a vCard
property, then implementations MAY choose not to convert that
property.
2.3.8. GEO
The GEO parameter (Section 5.10 of [RFC6350]) set on an ADR property
converts to the Address object's coordinates property
(Section 2.5.1.1 of [RFC9553]).
2.3.9. GROUP
The GROUP parameter (Section 7.1 of [RFC7095]) does not convert to
JSContact. It exclusively is for use in jCard and MUST NOT be set in
a vCard.
Preserving the exact group name when converting from vCard to
JSContact and back to vCard is not necessary. Any group identifiers
will do, as long as the resulting vCard groups its properties equally
to the original vCard. Implementations that still wish to preserve
the exact property group name of a vCard property MAY set the jCard
"group" parameter in the JSContact properties vCardProps or
vCardParams as defined in Section 2.15.

2.3.10. INDEX
The INDEX parameter (Section 3.1 of [RFC6715]) set on the EXPERTISE,
HOBBY, INTEREST, and ORG-DIRECTORY properties converts to the
PersonalInfo (Section 2.8.4 of [RFC9553]) and Directory
(Section 2.6.2 of [RFC9553]) objects' listAs property.
2.3.11. LANGUAGE
The LANGUAGE parameter (Section 5.1 of [RFC6350]) converts to an
entry in the Card object's localizations property (Section 2.7.1 of
[RFC9553]) for that vCard property on which this parameter is set on.
The value of the LANGUAGE parameter defines the language tag key in
the localizations property.
This specification does not define a single standard conversion rule
for how to convert the property values. Instead, building the
localizations value is implementation-specific.
Two options to populate the localizations property are:
* One Patch per Property: For each vCard property with a LANGUAGE
parameter, set the complete path in the PatchObject to the
JSContact property that the vCard property converts to. The value
of the patch is the converted property value. This is simple to
process and adequate if the vCard only contains a few properties
with the LANGUAGE parameter.
* Bundle Patches by Parent: If a PatchObject contains multiple paths
that have the same parent paths, then it might be possible to
combine these patches into one patch that patches the parent
property. This is possible if the property in the Card is patched
in its entirety.
Generally, localizations only localize properties that are present in
the non-localized version of this Card. Figure 3 illustrates this.

"localizations": {

"titles/t1/name": "Patron"
}
}
Figure 3: LANGUAGE Conversion Example: One Dominant Language
As a special case, if one or more vCard properties of the same type
do not have the LANGUAGE parameter set, add them to the non-localized
Card. Convert any with LANGUAGE parameters to the localizations
property. Figure 4 illustrates this.

}
}
Figure 4: LANGUAGE Conversion Example: Property without Language
2.3.12. LABEL
The LABEL parameter (Section 6.3.1 of [RFC6350]) on an ADR property
converts to the Address object's full property (Section 2.5.1.1 of
[RFC9553]).
2.3.13. LEVEL
The LEVEL parameter (Section 3.2 of [RFC6715]) converts to the
PersonalInfo object's level property (Section 2.8.4 of [RFC9553]).
If this parameter is set on the EXPERTISE property, then its values
convert as follows:
* "beginner" converts to "low";
* "average" converts to "medium"; and
* "expert" converts to "high".
In all other cases, the values convert verbatim, but lowercase MUST
be used for the JSContact value.
2.3.14. MEDIATYPE
The MEDIATYPE parameter (Section 5.7 of [RFC6350]) converts to the
Resource object's mediaType property (Section 1.4.4 of [RFC9553]).
2.3.15. PHONETIC
The PHONETIC parameter (Section 4.6 of [RFC9554]) converts to the
Name (Section 2.2.1 of [RFC9553]) and Address (Section 2.5.1 of
[RFC9553]) objects' phoneticSystem property unless the parameter
value is "script", in which case the phoneticSystem property is not
set.
The value of the SCRIPT parameter converts to the phoneticScript
property (see Section 2.3.19).
The related N or ADR property is defined by the vCard ALTID
parameter. The conversion rules for the N (Section 2.5.5) and ADR
(Section 2.6.1) properties define how the vCard components convert to
JSContact.
The component values of the property on which the PHONETIC parameter
is set convert to the respective NameComponent or AddressComponent
objects' phonetic properties.
If more than one property has the PHONETIC parameter set and relates
to the same property, then they convert to the Card object's
localizations property according to their LANGUAGE parameter values
as outlined in Section 2.3.11.

vCardParams property; see Section 2.15.2.
2.3.17. PREF
The PREF parameter (Section 5.3 of [RFC6350]) converts to the pref
property of the derived JSContact object.
2.3.18. PROP-ID
The PROP-ID parameter (Section 4.7 of [RFC9554]) converts to the Id-
typed key of the derived JSContact object, to which the vCard property having
this parameter converts. object.

}
}
Figure 6: PROP-ID Conversion Example
2.3.19. SCRIPT
The SCRIPT parameter (Section 4.8 of [RFC9554]) converts to the Name
(Section 2.2.1 of [RFC9553]) or Address (Section 2.5.1 of [RFC9553])
objects' phoneticScript property.
Also see Section 2.3.15.
2.3.20. SERVICE-TYPE
The SERVICE-TYPE parameter (Section 4.9 of [RFC9554]) converts to the
OnlineService object's service property (Section 2.3.2 of [RFC9553]).
2.3.21. SORT-AS
The SORT-AS parameter (Section 5.9 of [RFC6350]) converts to the
Name, Organization, and OrgUnit objects' sortAs properties.
2.3.22. TYPE
The TYPE parameter (Section 5.6 of [RFC6350]) converts to either the
contexts property or the kind property, as defined in later sections.
If not otherwise specified, the vCard "home" and "work" parameter
values convert to the JSContact "private" and "work" contexts,
respectively.
2.3.23. TZ
The TZ parameter (Section 5.11 of [RFC6350]) on an ADR property
converts to the Address object's timeZone property (Section 2.5.1.1
of [RFC9553]). Also see the conversion of the TZ property in
Section 2.8.2.
2.3.24. USERNAME
The USERNAME parameter (Section 4.10 of [RFC9554]) converts to the
OnlineService object's user property (Section 2.3.2 of [RFC9553]).
2.3.25. VALUE
The VALUE parameter (Section 5.2 of [RFC6350]) does not convert to an
IANA-registered property in JSContact. To preserve properties with
experimental values, see Sections 2.15.1 and 2.15.2.
2.4. General Properties
2.4.1. BEGIN and END
The BEGIN and END properties do not convert to IANA-registered
properties in JSContact.
2.4.2. KIND
The KIND property (Section 6.1.4 of [RFC6350]) converts to the kind
property (Figure 7). Allowed values are those described in
Section 6.1.4 of [RFC6350] and extended with the values declared in
[RFC6473] and [RFC6869].
KIND:individual
"kind": "individual"
Figure 7: KIND Conversion Example
2.4.3. SOURCE
The SOURCE property (Section 6.1.3 of [RFC6350]) converts to a
Directory object (Section 2.6.2 of [RFC9553]) in the Card object's
directories property (Figure 8). The Directory object's kind
property is set to "entry". The uri property is set to the SOURCE
property value.
The PREF and MEDIATYPE parameters convert according to the rules
defined in Section 2.3.

"ENTRY-1": {
"kind": "entry",
"uri": "https://dir.example.com/addrbook/jdoe/Jean%20Dupont.vcf"
}
}
Figure 8: SOURCE Conversion Example
2.4.4. XML
The XML property (Section 6.1.5 of [RFC6350]) converts to the
vCardProps property; see Section 2.15.1.
2.5. Identification Properties
2.5.1. ANNIVERSARY, BDAY, BIRTHPLACE, DEATHDATE, and DEATHPLACE
The following properties all convert to Anniversary objects in the
Card object's anniversaries property (Figure 9):
* ANNIVERSARY (Section 6.2.6 of [RFC6350])
* BDAY (Section 6.2.5 of [RFC6350])
* BIRTHPLACE (Section 2.1 of [RFC6474])
* DEATHDATE (Section 2.3 of [RFC6474])
* DEATHPLACE (Section 2.2 of [RFC6474])
BDAY and BIRTHPLACE convert to an Anniversary object (Section 2.8.1
of [RFC9553]) having the date and place properties set. The kind
poperty is set to "birth".
DEATHDATE and DEATHPLACE convert to an Anniversary object having the
date and place properties set. The Anniversary object's kind
property is set to "death".
ANNIVERSARY converts to the Anniversary object's date property. The
Anniversary object's kind property is set to "wedding".
If the BIRTHPLACE or DEATHPLACE property value is of type URI using
the "geo:" URI scheme, then it converts to the Address object's
coordinates property. If the value type is TEXT, then it converts to
the Address object's full property. Otherwise, it converts to the
vCardProps property; see Section 2.15.1.
The ALTID and LANGUAGE parameters of both the BIRTHPLACE and
DEATHPLACE properties convert according to the rules defined in
Section 2.3.

2.5.2. FN
The FN property (Section 6.2.1 of [RFC6350]) converts to the Name
object's full property (Figure 10). If the LANGUAGE parameter is
set, then the FN property converts as outlined in Section 2.3.11. In
the unexpected case where the vCard contains more than one FN
property without the LANGUAGE parameter, convert the FN property that
has the least parameters. If multiple such FN properties are
present, choose any of them. All other FN properties convert to the
vCardProps (Section 2.15.1) property.
FN:John Q. Public, Esq.
"name": {
"full": "John Q. Public, Esq."
}
Figure 10: FN Conversion Example
2.5.3. GENDER
The GENDER property (Section 6.2.7 of [RFC6350]) does not convert to
an IANA-registered property in JSContact. To convert this property,
see Section 2.15.1. Alternatively, the Card object's speakToAs
property defines how to address and refer to an individual
represented by the Card, as do the newly defined vCard GRAMGENDER and
PRONOUNS properties of [RFC9554].
2.5.4. GRAMGENDER and PRONOUNS
The GRAMGENDER property (Section 3.2 of [RFC9554]) converts to the
SpeakToAs object's grammaticalGender property (Figure 11).
The PRONOUNS property (Section 3.4 of [RFC9554]) converts to the
SpeakToAs object's pronouns property (Figure 11).
GRAMGENDER:NEUTER
PRONOUNS;PREF=2:they/them
PRONOUNS;PREF=1:xe/xir
"speakToAs": {
"grammaticalGender": "neuter",
"pronouns": {
"PRONOUNS-1": {
"pronouns": "they/them",
"pref": 2
},
"PRONOUNS-2": {
"pronouns": "xe/xir",
"pref": 1
}
}
}

2.5.5. N
The N property (Section 6.2.2 of [RFC6350]) converts to a Name object
(Section 2.2.1 of [RFC9553]) in the Card object's name property.
Each component in the N property structured value converts to a
NameComponent in the Name object's components property. The
following table shows this relation:
+============+===============+==============================+
| N | NameComponent | Remarks |
| component | kind | |
+============+===============+==============================+
| Family | surname | To vCard: add any "surname2" |
| name | | NameComponent to the Family |
| | | name component, after all |
| | | "surname" values. |
| | | From vCard: ignore any value |
| | | that also occurs in the |
| | | Secondary surname component. |
+------------+---------------+------------------------------+
| Given name | given | |
+------------+---------------+------------------------------+
| Additional | given2 | |
| name | | |
+------------+---------------+------------------------------+
| Honorific | title | |
| prefix | | |
+------------+---------------+------------------------------+
| Honorific | credential | To vCard: add any |
| suffix | | "generation" NameComponent |
| | | to the Honorific suffix |
| | | component. |
| | | From vCard: ignore any value |
| | | that also occurs in the |
| | | Generation component. |
+------------+---------------+------------------------------+
| Secondary | surname2 | |
| surname | | |
+------------+---------------+------------------------------+
| Generation | generation | |
+------------+---------------+------------------------------+
Table 1: N Components Conversion
If the JSCOMPS (Section 3.3.1) parameter is set, then the Name
object's isOrdered property value is "true", and the defaultSeparator
property and any "separator" NameComponent objects are set according
to the parameter value. The order in the components property MUST
adhere to the order of the JSCOMPS parameter value.
If the JSCOMPS parameter is not set, then the Name object's isOrdered
property value is "false", and the defaultSeparator property MUST NOT
be set. The order in the components property MUST follow the order
of values in the N structured value when read from left to right.
If the SORT-AS parameter is set, then its structured value converts
to the Name object's sortAs property according to Table 1. An empty
or non-existent component value indicates that no sort is defined for
this kind.
N;SORT-AS="Stevenson,John Philip":
Stevenson;John;Philip,Paul;Dr.;Jr.,M.D.,A.C.P.;;Jr.
"name": {
"components":[
{ "kind": "surname", "value": "Stevenson" },

See Section 3.3.1 for examples of using the JSCOMPS parameter for
vCard-structured property values.
2.5.6. NICKNAME
The NICKNAME property (Section 6.2.3 of [RFC6350]) converts to a
Nickname object (Section 2.2.2 of [RFC9553]) in the Card object's
nicknames property (Figure 13). The name property is set to the
NICKNAME property value.
The PREF and TYPE parameters convert according to the rules defined
in Section 2.3.
NICKNAME:Johnny
"nicknames": {
"NICK-1": {
"name": "Johnny"
}
}
Figure 13: NICKNAME Conversion Example
2.5.7. PHOTO
The PHOTO property (Section 6.2.4 of [RFC6350]) converts to a Media
object (Section 2.6.4 of [RFC9553]) in the Card object's media
property (Figure 14). The Media object's kind property is set to
"photo" and the uri property is set to the PHOTO value.
The PREF and MEDIATYPE parameters convert according to the rules
defined in Section 2.3.
PHOTO:https://www.example.com/pub/photos/jqpublic.gif
"media": {
"PHOTO-1": {
"kind": "photo",
"uri": "https://www.example.com/pub/photos/jqpublic.gif"
}
}

2.6. Delivery Addressing Properties
2.6.1. ADR
The ADR property (Section 6.3.1 of [RFC6350]) converts to an Address
object (Section 2.5.1.1 of [RFC9553]) in the Card object's addresses
property. Each component in the ADR-structured property value
converts to an AddressComponent in the Address object's components
property.
[RFC9554] defines new components for the ADR property.
Implementations SHOULD set these new components, even if all their
values are the empty string.
The following table shows how the ADR component and AddressComponent
kind relate:
+=============+==================+===============================+
| ADR | AddressComponent | Remarks |
| component | kind | |
+=============+==================+===============================+
| post office | postOfficeBox | [RFC6350] recommends that |
| box | | this component not be set, |
| | | but this is now disputable |
| | | given the new components. |
| | | Instead, set this component |
| | | and use the new ADR value |
| | | format defined in [RFC9554]. |
+-------------+------------------+-------------------------------+

Table 2: ADR Components Conversion
If the JSCOMPS (Section 3.3.1) parameter is set, then the Address
object's isOrdered property value is "true", and the defaultSeparator
property and any separator name components are set according to the
parameter value. The order in the components property MUST adhere to
the order of the JSCOMPS parameter value.
If the JSCOMPS parameter is not set, then the Address object's
isOrdered property value is "false", and the defaultSeparator
property MUST NOT be set. The order in the components property MUST
follow the order of values in the ADR structured value when read from
left to right.
The LABEL parameter converts to the Address object's full
property.
The GEO parameter converts to the Address object's coordinates
property.
The TZ parameter converts to the Address object's timeZone
property.
The CC parameter converts to the Address object's countryCode
property.
The PREF and TYPE parameters convert according to the rules defined
in Section 2.3. The ADR-specific values of the TYPE parameter
defined in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of [RFC9554] convert to the
corresponding entries of the contexts property as defined in
Section 2.5.1 of [RFC9553].
The ALTID and LANGUAGE parameters convert according to the rules
defined in Section 2.3. Each possible language-dependent alternative
converts to an entry of the PatchObject where the key references the
full property.

2.7.3. LANG
The LANG property (Section 6.4.4 of [RFC6350]) converts to a
LanguagePref object (Section 2.3.4 of [RFC9553]) in the Card object's
preferredLanguages property (Figure 18). The LANG property value
converts to the LanguagePref object's language property value.
The PREF and TYPE parameters convert according to the rules defined
in Section 2.3.
LANG;TYPE=work;PREF=1:en
LANG;TYPE=work;PREF=2:fr
LANG;TYPE=home:fr
"preferredLanguages": {

2.7.5. SOCIALPROFILE
The SOCIALPROFILE property (Section 3.5 of [RFC9554]) converts to an
OnlineService object (Section 2.3.2 of [RFC9553]) in the Card
object's onlineServices property (Figure 20). The vCardName property
is set to "socialprofile", or it can be omitted. If the
SOCIALPROFILE property value is of type URI, then the OnlineService
object's uri property is set; otherwise, the user property is set.
The SERVICE-TYPE, USERNAME, PREF, and TYPE parameters convert
according to the rules defined in Section 2.3.
SOCIALPROFILE;SERVICE-TYPE=Mastodon:https://example.com/@foo
"onlineServices": {
...
"OS-1": {

2.7.6. TEL
The TEL property (Section 6.4.1 of [RFC6350]) converts to a Phone
object (Section 2.3.3 of [RFC9553]) in the Card object's phones
property (Figure 21).
The TEL-specific values of the TYPE parameter convert to the features
property keys as outlined in Table 3. Note that Section 6.4.1 of
[RFC6350] defines the default type to be "voice", but the default
Phone features property is absent by default. Accordingly, an
implementation SHOULD only set the Phone object's features property
if the TEL property actually has a TEL-specific TYPE parameter set.
+=============+===============+
| TYPE value | Phone feature |
+=============+===============+

"number": "tel:+33-01-23-45-67"
}
}
Figure 21: TEL Conversion Example
2.8. Geographical Properties
2.8.1. GEO
The GEO property (Section 6.5.2 of [RFC6350]) converts to the Address
object's coordinates property (Section 2.5.1 of [RFC9553]). Also see
Section 2.8.3 to determine which Address object instance to convert
to.
2.8.2. TZ
The TZ property (Section 6.5.1 of [RFC6350]) converts an Address
object (Section 2.5.1 of [RFC9553]) in the Card object's addresses
property.
A value of type TEXT converts to the Address object's timeZone
property.
A value of type UTC-OFFSET converts to the Address object's timeZone
property if the offset has zero minutes and the hour offset is
between -12 and +14, both inclusively. Note that:
* If the hour offset is zero, use the time zone name "Etc/UTC".
* Otherwise, construct the time zone name with "Etc/GMT" suffixed
with the string representation of the reversed sign hour offset,
including the sign but excluding leading zeros and minutes. For
example, the UTC offset value "-0500" converts to "Etc/GMT+5".
For such property values, also see Section 2.8.3 to determine which
Address object instance to convert to.
Any other value of type UTC-OFFSET or URI does not convert to an
IANA-registered property in JSContact. To convert such property, see
Section 2.15.1.
2.8.3. Combining Geographical Properties
In vCard, the properties ADR, GEO, and TZ occur independently of each
other. In JSContact, they all convert to properties of an Address
object. It is implementation-specific if these vCard properties
convert to _separate_ address instances in JSContact or if some or
all of them convert to the _same_ address. That being said,
implementations MUST convert the properties to the _same_ address for
the following cases:
* The GROUP parameter values of the properties match.
* The GROUP parameters are not set, but they are set on any other
ADR, GEO, and TZ properties.
2.9. Organizational Properties
2.9.1. CONTACT-URI
The CONTACT-URI property (Section 2.1 of [RFC8605]) converts to a
Link object (Section 2.6.3 of [RFC9553]) in the Card object's links
property (Figure 22). The Link object's kind property is set to
"contact" and the uri property is set to the CONTACT-URI property
value.
The PREF and TYPE parameters convert according to the rules defined
in Section 2.3.
CONTACT-URI;PREF=1:mailto:contact@example.com
"links": {
"CONTACT-1": {
"kind": "contact",
"uri": "mailto:contact@example.com",
"pref": 1
}
}
Figure 22: CONTACT-URI Conversion Example
2.9.2. LOGO
The LOGO property (Section 6.6.3 of [RFC6350]) converts to a Media
object (Section 2.6.4 of [RFC9553]) in the Card object's media
property (Figure 23). The Media object's kind property is set to
"logo" and the uri property is set to the LOGO property value.
The PREF and TYPE parameters convert according to the rules defined
in Section 2.3.
LOGO:https://www.example.com/pub/logos/abccorp.jpg
"media": {
"LOGO-1": {
"kind": "logo",
"uri": "https://www.example.com/pub/logos/abccorp.jpg"
}
}
Figure 23: LOGO Conversion Example
2.9.3. MEMBER
The MEMBER property (Section 6.6.5 of [RFC6350]) converts to the Card
object's members property (Figure 24). Each MEMBER property value is
a key in the members property. The PREF parameter (Section 5.3 of
[RFC6350]) does not convert to JSContact.
KIND:group
FN:The Doe family
MEMBER:urn:uuid:03a0e51f-d1aa-4385-8a53-e29025acd8af
MEMBER:urn:uuid:b8767877-b4a1-4c70-9acc-505d3819e519

2.9.4. ORG
The ORG property (Section 6.6.4 of [RFC6350]) converts to an
Organization object (Section 2.2.3 of [RFC9553]) in the Card object's
organizations property (Figure 25). The Organization object's name
property is set to the ORG property organizational name component.
The Organization object's units property is an array of OrgUnit
objects that each contain an organizational unit name component value
of the ORG property value.
Implementations MAY allow representation of organizational units
without the organizational name. In this case, the first component
of the ORG value MUST be an empty string (e.g., ORG:;DepartmentA).
The ALTID and LANGUAGE parameters convert according to the rules
defined in Section 2.3.
The first item of the comma-separated SORT-AS parameter value
converts to the sortAs property of the Organization object. The
subsequent items convert to the sortAs property of the corresponding
OrgUnit object.
The TYPE parameter converts according to the rules defined in
Section 2.3.
ORG;SORT-AS="ABC":ABC\, Inc.;North American Division;Marketing
"organizations": {
"ORG-1": {
"name": "ABC, Inc.",
"units":[
{ "name": "North American Division" },
{ "name": "Marketing" }
],
"sortAs": "ABC"
}
}
Figure 25: ORG Conversion Example
2.9.5. RELATED
The RELATED property (Section 6.6.6 of [RFC6350]) converts to the
Card object's relatedTo property (Figure 26). The property value
converts to the key in the relatedTo property. The TYPE parameters
convert to the Relation object's relation property (Section 2.1.8 of
[RFC9553]). Any other parameters convert as defined in
Section 2.15.2.
RELATED;TYPE=friend:urn:uuid:f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6
RELATED;TYPE=contact:https://example.com/directory/john.vcf

2.9.6. TITLE and ROLE
The TITLE (Section 6.6.1 of [RFC6350]) and ROLE (Section 6.6.2 of
[RFC6350]) properties convert to a Title object (Section 2.2.5 of
[RFC9553]) in the Card object's titles property (Figure 27). The
Title object's kind property is set to "title" or "role" for the
TITLE and ROLE vCard properties, respectively. The name property is
set to the vCard property value.
The value of the organizationId property can be derived if the TITLE
or ROLE property is a member of a vCard property group and if exactly
one other ORG property is also a part of that group.
The ALTID and LANGUAGE parameters convert according to the rules
defined in Section 2.3.
TITLE:Research Scientist
group1.ROLE:Project Leader
group1.ORG:ABC, Inc.

The X-ABLabel property is preceded by a vCard property group name,
and the label converts to the JSContact object, which was converted
from a vCard property of the same group.
The group name is not preserved; implementations are free to choose
any unique group name when converting back to vCard. For an example
on how to preserve the group name, see Section 2.3.9.

2.14. Extended Properties and Parameters
Extended properties and parameters convert as specified in
Section 2.15.
2.15. New JSContact Properties
vCards may contain properties or parameters for which no IANA-
registered JSContact property is defined. For example, a vCard may
contain properties and parameters of which the semantics or purposes
are unknown to the implementation; see Section 6.10 of [RFC6350].
This section defines JSContact properties by which such vCard
properties and parameters MAY be represented in JSContact.
Implementations MAY choose to convert differently if they deem that
more appropriate.
2.15.1. vCardProps
vCardProps: JCardProp[] (optional). Contains vCard properties that
are set in the vCard represented by this JSContact object. The
JCardProp type denotes a jCard-encoded vCard property as defined
in Section 3.3 of [RFC7095].
Example: This illustrates how to convert a vCard extension property:
item1.X-FOO;X-BAR=Hello:World!
"vCardProps": [
["x-foo", {
"x-bar": "Hello",
"group": "item1"
}, "unknown", "World!"]
]
Figure 45: JSContact vCardProps Example
2.15.2. vCardParams
vCardParams: String[String|String[]] (optional). Contains vCard
parameters that are set on the vCard property represented by this
JSContact object. The value MUST be a JSON object containing
vCard property parameters as defined in Section 3.3 of [RFC7095].
Each entry represents a parameter of the vCard property that
converts to the JSContact object.
Example: This illustrates how to convert a vCard extension
parameter:
EMAIL;X-FOO=Bar:jane_doe@example.com
"emails": {
"email1": {
"address": "jane_doe@example.com",
"vCardParams": {
"x-foo": "Bar"
}
}
}
Figure 46: JSContact vCardParams Example
2.15.3. vCardName
vCardName: String (optional). Contains the name of the vCard element
that is represented by this JSContact object. For example, this
allows to preserve the name of a vCard property when multiple
vCard properties convert the same JSContact type. The case-
insensitive value MUST be valid according to the "name" ABNF
defined in Section 3.3 of [RFC6350].
Example: Both vCard IMPP and SOCIALPROFILE convert to an
OnlineService object (Section 2.3.2 of [RFC9553]) in JSContact.
The vCardName property value indicates that the vCard source
element was IMPP as follows:
IMPP:xmpp:alice@example.com
"onlineServices": {
"os1": {
"uri": "xmpp:alice@example.com",
"vCardName": "impp"
},
}
Figure 47: JSContact vCardName Example
3. Converting JSContact to vCard
3.1. Conversion Rules
A Card object converts to vCard by applying the reverse rules of
converting vCard to JSContact. In addition to those listed in
Appendix A, the following rules apply:
* Multivalued JSContact properties convert to separate instances of
their equivalent vCard property, and each of the PROP-ID
parameters MUST be set to the Id-typed key of the converted value
(see Section 2.3.18).
* The full property of the name property in JSContact is optional,
but the FN property is mandatory in vCard. The following rules
apply:
- If the Name object's full property is set, then implementations
MUST use its value for the vCard FN property.
- If the Name object's full property is not set, then
implementations SHOULD derive the full name from the Name
object's components property values. If the isOrdered property
is "true", then this can be done by concatenating the name
component values. Otherwise, or alternatively, an
implementation can choose any other heuristic to generate the
full name from its components such as [CLDRPersonName].
Implementations MUST set the DERIVED parameter on the FN
property.
- Otherwise, the FN property MUST be set to the empty value.
* Vendor-specific and unknown properties convert to vCard as
outlined in Section 3.1.1.
3.1.1. Converting Unknown Properties
JSContact objects may contain properties for which no IANA-registered
vCard property is defined. For example, a JSContact object may
contain vendor-specific properties of which the semantics or purpose
are unknown.
This specification defines the new JSPROP (Section 3.2.1) vCard
property and JSPTR (Section 3.3.2) vCard parameter by which such
JSContact properties MAY be represented in vCard. Implementations
MAY choose to convert differently if they deem that more appropriate.
3.2. New vCard Properties
3.2.1. JSPROP
Property name: JSPROP
Purpose: Represents a JSContact property in vCard.
Value type: TEXT; also see "Format definition" below for value
restrictions.
Conformance: Can be specified multiple times in a vCard.
Property parameters: The JSPTR parameter MUST be set for this
property. Other IANA-registered and experimental property
parameters can be specified on this property.
Description: This property converts an arbitrary JSContact property
from and to vCard. The vCard property value is the JSON-encoded
value of the JSContact property, represented as a TEXT value. The
format of the JSON value MUST be compact, e.g., without
insignificant whitespace as defined in Section 2 of [RFC8259].
The value of the JSPTR parameter points to the JSContact property
within the Card.
The root of the JSON pointer is always the Card object that this
vCard converts to, irrespective if the JSON pointer starts with
the SOLIDUS (U+002F) character. The pointer MUST NOT reference
into an array.
All JSPROP properties in a vCard together form a PatchObject as
defined in [RFC9553]. The value of its JSPTR parameter
corresponds to a key in the PatchObject; the value of the JSPROP
property corresponds to the value for that key. When converting
from vCard to JSContact, the PatchObject MUST only be applied
after all other vCard properties have already been converted. The
PatchObject MUST be valid, including the restriction that an
invalid PatchObject MUST NOT be applied.
Format definition: This property is defined by the following
notation:
jsprop = "JSPROP" jsprop-param ":" TEXT
jsprop-param = *(
; The following are MANDATORY and MUST NOT
; occur more than once
( ";" jsptr-param ) / ; see next section
( ";" "VALUE" "=" "TEXT")
;
; The following is OPTIONAL
; and MAY occur more than once.
;
(";" other-param)
;
)
Example(s): This illustrates how to convert a property at the top
level in a Card object that is unknown to the implementation.
"someUnknownProperty": true
JSPROP;JSPTR="someUnknownProperty":true
Figure 48: Unknown Property Example
This illustrates how to convert a vendor-specific property at the
top level of a Card object. Note the required use of quoted
string for the JSPTR value, which allows the path to include the
COLON (U+003A) character.
"example.com:foo": {
"bar": 1234
}
JSPROP;JSPTR="example.com:foo":{"bar":1234}
Figure 49: Vendor-Specific Property Conversion Example
This illustrates how to convert a vendor-specific property at a
nested level in a Card object using a path relative to the Card
object. Although not recommended, the property name includes the
SOLIDUS (U+002F) character, which requires escaping in the JSON
pointer.
"phones": {
"phone1": {
"number": "tel:+33-01-23-45-67",
"example.com:foo/bar": "tux hux"
}
}
TEL:tel:+33-01-23-45-67
JSPROP;JSPTR="phones/phone1/example.com:foo~1bar":
"tux hux"

Relative to Card
3.3. New vCard Parameters
3.3.1. JSCOMPS
Parameter name: JSCOMPS
Purpose: Defines the order and separators for the elements of a
structured property value.
Description: The JSCOMPS parameter value facilitates converting name
and address components between JSContact and vCard. It preserves
the order of the components of the JSContact property and contains
the verbatim values of separator components.
If this parameter is set and its value is valid (see later), then
implementations MUST set the isOrdered property of the Name or
Address object to "true". Otherwise, they MUST set the isOrdered
property value to "false".
The JSCOMPS parameter value is a structured type value. Its value
MUST be quoted. The parameter value consists of a sequence of
entries, separated by the SEMICOLON character (U+003B). The first
entry defines the value of the defaultSeparator property. If it
is the empty string, then no default separator is defined.
Otherwise, the first entry MUST be a separator entry. All
following entries processed in order result in an ordered list of
JSContact components and MUST be one of the following two kinds:
1. A positional. This refers to a component value in the vCard
structured value. A position consists of the numeric index of
a component in the structured value, optionally followed by a
COMMA (U+002C) character and the non-zero index of a value
within that component. The zero index selects the first
component or value, respectively. The second index is zero by
default, in which case it MUST be omitted (as well as the
leading COMMA).
The resulting JSContact component is formed by determining its
kind by the position in the vCard structured value. The
component value is the verbatim value of the vCard component.
Figures 51 and 52 illustrate this by example.
2. A separator. This contains the verbatim value of a separator
component. It starts with the LATIN SMALL LETTER S (U+0073)
character, followed by the COMMA (U+002C) character, followed
by zero or more "param-value" characters (see Section 3.3 of
[RFC6350]), where the COMMA (U+002C) and SEMICOLON (U+003B)
characters MUST be escaped according to the rules defined in
Section 3.4 of [RFC6350]. Figure 53 illustrates this by
example.
The resulting JSContact component is formed by setting its
kind to "separator" and its value to the verbatim value of the
entry.
A JSCOMPS parameter value is valid if and only if:
* All indexes in the positional entries refer to an existing
component value in the vCard property value.
* The count of positional entries equals the count of
deduplicated component values. Deduplication is required
because some values may occur in both their designated and
backwards-compatible components in the vCard property value:
- A value that occurs in both the N property secondary surname
component and the family name component only counts once.
- A value that occurs in both the N property generation
component and the honorific suffix component only counts
once.
- A value in the ADR property street address component does
not count if the ADR property value contains a value in one
of the new components defined in [RFC9554].
- All other values count once each.
Format definition:
jscomps-param = "JSCOMPS" "=" DQUOTE [jscomps-entry-sep ] ";"
jscomps-entrylist DQUOTE
jscomps-entrylist = jscomps-entry *(";" jscomps-entry)
jscomps-entry = jscomps-entry-pos / jscomps-entry-sep
jscomps-entry-pos = 1*DIGIT [ "," 1*DIGIT ]
jscomps-entry-sep = "s" "," jscomps-entry-verb
jscomps-entry-verb = *QSAFE-CHAR ; encode according to RFC 6868
Example(s): The following example demonstrates the use of positional
entries for the name "Jane Doe". The given name is ordered before
the surname. No secondary index is required for either positional
because both are zero.
"name": {
"components": [
{ "kind": "given", "value": "Jane" },
{ "kind": "surname", "value": "Doe" }
],
"isOrdered": true
}
N;JSCOMPS=";1;0":Doe;Jane;;;;;;
FN;DERIVED=TRUE:Jane Doe
Figure 51: Example of a Secondary Positional Index
The following example demonstrates a secondary positional index.
The "Jr." generation marker only counts once because it occurs in
both the designated generation component and the backwards-
compatible honorific suffixes component.
"name": {
"components": [
{ "kind": "given", "value": "John" },
{ "kind": "given2", "value": "Philip" },
{ "kind": "given2", "value": "Paul" },
{ "kind": "surname", "value": "Stevenson" },
{ "kind": "generation", "value": "Jr." },
{ "kind": "credential", "value": "M.D." }
],
"isOrdered": true
}
N;JSCOMPS=";1;2;2,1;0;6;4,1":
Stevenson;John;Philip,Paul;;Jr.,M.D.;;Jr.
Figure 52: Example of Positional Entries
The following example demonstrates the use of separator entries
for the (shortened for brevity) address "54321 Oak St, Reston".
The first entry defines the default separator to be ", ". The
second and fourth positional entries are separated with the
separator value " ". For backwards compatibility, the street
address component of the ADR property contains both the street
number and name, but it is not referred to in the JSCOMPS
parameter and does not contribute to the count of values.
"addresses": {
"a1": {
"components": [
{ "kind": "number", "value": "54321" },
{ "kind": "separator", "value": " " },
{ "kind": "name", "value": "Oak St" },
{ "kind": "locality", "value": "Reston" }

"isOrdered": true
}

3.3.2. JSPTR
Parameter name: JSPTR
Purpose: This parameter is set on a JSPROP (Section 3.2.1) property.
Its value is a JSON pointer [RFC6901] that points to the JSContact
property that has the value of the JSPROP property.
Description: This parameter has a single value that MUST be a valid
JSON pointer as defined in [RFC6901]. Note that the value MUST be
quoted according to the "param-value" ABNF in [RFC6350].
Format definition:
jsptr-param = "JSPTR" "=" param-value
; also see param-value in RFC 6350, Section 3.3
Example(s): This illustrates a simple example. For further
examples, see Section 3.2.1.
JSPROP;JSPTR="example.com:foo":"bar"
