vCard or MeCard? Specific to creating detailed inventory forms
I am in search of the most appropriate route to take, vCard or MeCard, and the correct syntax to use in order to create unique forms for various uses. An example being an inventory form.
Creating a new contact card by scanning a QR Code is as far as I am. However, I would like to create unique forms with unique keys/values. Is this easily achieved? Is there a set of keys that are specific to achieve this?
I have looked into the following resources: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6473 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6350
If anyone has experience with any of the topics stated above, I would very much appreciate the advice and insight.
As this is my first question, go easy on me.
Answer
A vCard, .vcf or Versitcard is the standardised file format for electronic business cards. This is a universal format understood by most devices and software that handle things like contact information and email. vCards can hold everything from your first name, to a photo, to an audio clip. There is some good information about this format on Wikipedia.
meCARD is a more compact format, and that it generates a smaller QR code, meCARD might make more sense for contact information, it is possible that your phone will understand both formats, in which case meCARD would make more sense for contact information. as some phones like blackberry tends to face some problems scanning vCards
