The name vCard comes from its use as a standard for electronic business cards. Originally created for e-mails, the format is now widely used for communication. Many applications support vCard files, including e-mail, personal information manager, and smartphone contact files. These formats are used in various communication systems, including smartphones and social media. Some applications even support vCards in different ways, such as in HTML, XML representation, or web pages.

vCards are a format for exchanging contact information. They are a great way to exchange contact information in a hurry. Instead of typing in the number of a person, you can simply text them a vCard and they can read it right away! vCards are also useful for storing favorites, such as restaurants or businesses. You can even share vCards with family and friends.

vCards are commonly used for email. You can even embed vCard information into HTML pages. hCard uses CSS class names to identify vCard properties. You can even use your normal HTML markup alongside the hCard, as it will not have any effect on the parser. For more advanced use cases, vCards can be embedded in a page using h-card.
