                JSContact: Converting from and to vCard
                  draft-ietf-calext-jscontact-vcard-15

Abstract

   This document defines how to convert contact information between the
   JSContact and vCard data formats.  To achieve this, it updates RFC I-
   D.ietf-calext-jscontact (JSContact) by registering new JSContact
   properties.  Similarly, it updates RFC 6350 (vCard) by registering
   new vCard properties and parameters.

1.  Introduction

Loffredo & Stepanek     Expires 5 September 2024                [Page 4]
Internet-Draft               jscontact-vcard                  March 2024

1.1.  Motivation

   The JSContact data model and format [I-D.ietf-calext-jscontact] aims
   to be an alternative to the widely used vCard [RFC6350] standard and
   jCard [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 want to represent their contact data also 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 either are defined in
   [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 vCard to JSContact
   Card.  It follows the same structure as the vCard v4 [RFC6350].
   Properties and parameters of vCard extension RFCs, including the
   vCard JSContact Extension
   [I-D.ietf-calext-vcard-jscontact-extensions] are added to appropriate
   subsections.

2.1.  General rules

Internet-Draft               jscontact-vcard                  March 2024

2.1.1.  The uid property

   The UID property in vCard is optional, but the uid property in
   JSContact is mandatory.  Implementations that convert a vCard without
   UID property MUST generate a unique identifier as a 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 typically are represented as a
   JSON object where the object keys are of the Id type and the object
   values are the converted vCard property.  In absence of the PROP-ID
   parameter (see Section 2.3.16), implementations are free to choose
   any identifier 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
   [I-D.ietf-calext-jscontact].  For example, this could be an
   incrementing number across all Ids or only unique within one JSON
   object.

2.2.  vCard Value Data Types

2.2.1.  BOOLEAN

   This converts to the JSContact Boolean type.

2.2.2.  DATE, TIME, DATE-TIME, DATE-AND-OR-TIME, and TIMESTAMP

   The TIMESTAMP type generally converts to the UTCDateTime.  It
   converts to the Timestamp type for anniversaries.

   The DATE type converts to the PartialDate type, which only is
   relevant for anniversaries.  This does not apply to DATE values that
   only define a month or a day.

   The TIME, DATE-TIME, DATE-AND-OR-TIME types and DATE type values that
   only define a month or day do not convert to a JSContact datetime
   type.  Instead, vCard properties or parameters having such values
   convert to the properties defined in Section 2.15.

2.2.3.  INTEGER

   This converts to the JSContact Int and UnsignedInt types.

2.2.4.  FLOAT

   This converts to the JSContact Number type.

2.2.5.  LANGUAGE-TAG

   This converts to the JSContact String type.

2.2.6.  TEXT

   This converts to the JSContact String type.

2.2.7.  URI

   This converts to the JSContact String type.

2.2.8.  UTC-OFFSET

   This either converts to a String containing an IANA TimeZone Database
   entry name (see Section 2.8.2), or it does not convert to any
   JSContact type.  For the latter, vCard properties or parameters
   having such values MAY convert to JSContact as defined in
   Section 2.15.

2.3.  vCard Parameters

   This section contains the conversion rules for vCard parameters.  A
   rule typically only applies for specific vCard properties.  To
   convert a vCard parameter on an arbitrary vCard property, see
   Section 2.15.2.

2.3.1.  ALTID

   This 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 value of a vCard NOTE property converts to the
   uri property of the Author object for this note.

   Note: This parameter is defined in
   [I-D.ietf-calext-vcard-jscontact-extensions].

2.3.3.  AUTHOR-NAME

   The AUTHOR-NAME parameter value of a vCard NOTE property converts to
   the name property of the Author object for this note.

   Note: This parameter is defined in
   [I-D.ietf-calext-vcard-jscontact-extensions].

2.3.4.  CALSCALE

   This parameter set on a BDAY, DEATHDATE or ANNIVERSARY property
   converts to the calendarScale property of the PartialDate object
   type.

2.3.5.  CREATED

   The CREATED parameter value of a vCard NOTE property converts to the
   created property of the Note object.

   Note: This parameter is defined in
   [I-D.ietf-calext-vcard-jscontact-extensions].

2.3.6.  DERIVED

   If this parameter is set to true on a vCard property, then
   implementations MAY choose to not convert that property.

   Note: This parameter is defined in
   [I-D.ietf-calext-vcard-jscontact-extensions].

2.3.7.  GEO

   This parameter set on an ADR property converts to the JSContact
   coordinates property of the Address object that represents the vCard
   ADR.

2.3.8.  GROUP

   This parameter exclusively is for use in jCard (see Section 7.1 of
   [RFC7095]).  It 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 group parameter in the JSContact
   properties vCardProps or vCardParams defined in Section 2.15.

2.3.9.  INDEX

   This parameter set on the EXPERTISE, HOBBY, INTEREST and ORG-
   DIRECTORY properties defined in [RFC6715] converts to the JSContact
   listAs property of the PersonalInfo and Directory objects.

2.3.10.  LANGUAGE

   This converts to an entry in the localizations property for the vCard
   property that 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:

Loffredo & Stepanek     Expires 5 September 2024                [Page 9]
Internet-Draft               jscontact-vcard                  March 2024

   *  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 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.

     "fr": {
       "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, then choose 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

   As the least preferred option, Figure 5 illustrates how all vCard
   properties of the same type have the LANGUAGE parameter set, but none
   of their language tags match the language of the main Card.  In this
   case, implementations MAY choose to add the localized vCard
   properties only to the localizations object.

   multilingual content.  The ASCII-formatted version of this
   specification might not show the correct characters.  Please refer to
   the HTML or PDF versions instead.

                       property and parameter values

2.3.11.  LEVEL

   The LEVEL parameter [RFC6715] converts to the level property of the
   PersonalInfo type.  If this parameter is set on the EXPERTISE
   property, then its values convert as:

   *  "beginner" converts to "low";
   *  "average" converts to "medium";
   *  "expert" converts to "high".

   In all other cases the values convert verbatim, but lowercase MUST be
   used for the JSContact value.

2.3.12.  MEDIATYPE

   This converts to the mediaType property of the Resource object type.

2.3.13.  PHONETIC

   This parameter as well as the SCRIPT (Section 2.3.17) parameter set
   on a N or ADR property convert to JSContact as follows:

Loffredo & Stepanek     Expires 5 September 2024               [Page 12]
Internet-Draft               jscontact-vcard                  March 2024

   the values of the phonetic, phoneticScript and phoneticSystem
   properties of the NameComponent and Name or AddressComponent and
   Address object types, respectively.

   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 value of the PHONETIC parameter converts to the phoneticSystem
   property unless it is script, in which case the phoneticSystem
   property is not set.  The value of the SCRIPT parameter converts to
   the phoneticScript property.

   The values of the components in the property value convert to values
   the phonetic properties for the respective NameComponent or
   AddressComponent.

   If more than one property having the PHONETIC parameter set relates
   to the same property, then they convert to the Card localizations
   property according their LANGUAGE parameter values as outlined in
   Section 2.3.10.

2.3.19.  SORT-AS

   This converts to the sortAs properties defined for the Name,
   Organization and OrgUnit object types.

2.3.20.  TYPE

   This converts to the contexts property as well as property-specific
   kind property values defined in later sections.  If not specified
   otherwise for a specific JSContact property, the vCard home and work
   parameter values convert to the JSContact private and work contexts,
   respectively.

2.3.21.  TZ

   This parameter set on an ADR property converts to the JSContact
   timeZone property of the Address object that represents the vCard
   ADR.  Also see the conversion of the TZ property in Section 2.8.2.

2.3.22.  USERNAME

   This converts to the user property of the OnlineService object type.

   Note: This parameter is defined in
   [I-D.ietf-calext-vcard-jscontact-extensions].

2.3.23.  VALUE

   This does not convert to an IANA-registered property in JSContact.
   To preserve properties with experimental values, see Section 2.15.2
   and Section 2.15.1.

2.4.  General Properties

2.4.1.  BEGIN and END

   These do not convert to IANA-registered properties in JSContact.

2.4.2.  KIND

   The KIND property converts to the kind property (Figure 8).  Allowed
   values are those described in Section 6.1.4 of [RFC6350] and extended
   with the values declared in [RFC6473] and [RFC6869].

   property (Figure 9).  The 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 as
   defined in Section 2.3.

2.5.  Identification Properties

2.5.1.  BDAY, BIRTHPLACE, DEATHDATE, DEATHPLACE, ANNIVERSARY

   The BDAY and ANNIVERSARY properties and the extensions BIRTHPLACE,
   DEATHDATE, DEATHPLACE described in [RFC6474] are represented as
   Anniversary objects included in the anniversaries property
   (Figure 10):

   *  BDAY and BIRTHPLACE convert to date and place where kind is set to
      "birth";
   *  DEATHDATE and DEATHPLACE convert to date and place where kind is
      set to "death";
   *  ANNIVERSARY converts to date where kind is "wedding".

   Both birth and death places are represented as instances of the
   Address object.

   The BIRTHPLACE and DEATHPLACE properties that are represented as geo
   URIs convert to Address instances including only the coordinates
   property.  If the URI value is not a geo URI, the place is ignored.

   The FN property converts to the Name object in the name property.
   Its value converts to the Name object full property (Figure 11).  If
   the LANGUAGE parameter is set, then the FN property converts as
   outlined in Section 2.3.10.  In the unexpected case that the vCard
   contains more than one FN property without LANGUAGE parameter, then
   convert the FN property that has the least parameters set to the full
   property.  If multiple such FN properties are present, choose any of
   them.  All other FN properties convert to the vCardProps
   (Section 2.15.1) property.

   This does not map to an IANA-registered property in JSContact.  To
   convert this property, see Section 2.15.1.  Note the alternative
   JSContact speakToAs property which defines how to address and refer
   to an individual represented by the card, as do the newly defined
   vCard GRAMGENDER and PRONOUNS properties of
   [I-D.ietf-calext-vcard-jscontact-extensions].

2.5.4.  GRAMGENDER and PRONOUNS

   The GRAMGENDER property converts to the grammaticalGender property of

   The PRONOUNS property converts to an entry in the pronouns property
   of the SpeakToAs object (Figure 12).

   If the JSCOMPS (Section 3.3.1) parameter is set, then the Name
   isOrdered property value is "true", and the defaultSeparator and any
   separator name components are set according to the parameter value.
   The components list MUST adhere to the order of the JSCOMPS parameter
   value.

   If the JSCOMPS parameter is not set, then the Name isOrdered property
   value is "false" and the defaultSeparator property MUST NOT be set.
   The components list 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 sortAs property according to Table 1.  An empty or non-
   existent component value indicates that no sort is defined for this
   kind.

2.5.7.  PHOTO

   A PHOTO property converts to an entry in the media property
   (Figure 15).  The entry value is a Media object whose kind property
   is set to photo and uri property is set to the PHOTO value.

   The PREF and MEDIATYPE parameters convert according to the rules as
   defined in Section 2.3.

2.6.  Delivery Addressing Properties

2.6.1.  ADR

   The ADR property converts to an Address object in the addresses
   property.  Each component in the ADR property structured value
   converts to an AddressComponent in the Address components property.

   [I-D.ietf-calext-vcard-jscontact-extensions] defines new component
   for the ADR property.  Implementations SHOULD set these new
   components, even if all their values are the empty string.

   The following table shows how ADR component and AddressComponent kind
   relate:

   +===========+================+=============================================+
   |ADR        |AddressComponent|Remarks                                      |

2.7.6.  TEL

   A TEL property converts to an entry in the phones property
   (Figure 22).  The entry value is a Phone object.

   The TEL-specific values of the TYPE parameter convert to the features
   property keys as outlined in table Table 3.  Note that Section 6.4.1
   of [RFC6350] defines the default TYPE of TEL to be voice, but the
   default Phone features property is absent by default.  Accordingly,
   an implementation SHOULD only set the Phone features property if the
   TEL property actually has a TEL-specific TYPE parameter set.

2.8.  Geographical Properties

2.8.1.  GEO

   This converts to the coordinates property of the Address object.
   Also see Section 2.8.3 to determine which Address object instance to
   convert to.

2.8.2.  TZ

   A value of type TEXT converts to the timeZone property in the Address
   object.

   A value of type UTC-OFFSET converts to the timeZone property in the
   Address object if the offset has zero minutes and the hour offset is
   in the range -12 <= 14:

   *  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.

Internet-Draft               jscontact-vcard                  March 2024

   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 are set on any other ADR,
      GEO and TZ properties.

2.9.  Organizational Properties

2.9.1.  CONTACT-URI

   A CONTACT-URI property as defined in [RFC8605] is represented as an
   entry of the links property (Figure 23).  The entry value is a Link
   object whose kind property is set to contact and uri property is set
   to the CONTACT-URI value.

   The PREF and TYPE parameters convert according to the rules as
   defined in Section 2.3.

   CONTACT-URI;PREF=1:mailto:contact@example.com

   "links": {
     "CONTACT-1": {

2.9.2.  LOGO

   A LOGO property converts to an entry in the media property
   (Figure 24).  The entry value is a Media object whose kind property
   is set to logo and uri property is set to the LOGO value.

   The PREF and TYPE parameters convert according to the rules as
   defined in Section 2.3.

2.9.3.  MEMBER

   The uids of the contact cards composing the group are included in the
   members property (Figure 25).

   In this case, the PREF parameter does not have a JSContact
   counterpart; however, the implementors MAY insert the map entries by
   order of preference.

2.9.4.  ORG

   An ORG property converts to an entry in the organizations property
   (Figure 26).  The entry value is an Organization object whose name
   property contains the organizational name, and the units property is
   an array of OrgUnit objects each containing the organizational unit
   name in the name property.

   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, LANGUAGE parameters convert according to the rules as
   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 as defined in
   Section 2.3.

   ORG;SORT-AS="ABC":ABC\, Inc.;North American Division;Marketing

   "organizations": {
     "ORG-1": {
       "name": "ABC, Inc.",

   titles property (Figure 28).  The entry value is a Title object whose
   kind property is set to title or role for 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 member of a vCard property group and exactly one
   other ORG property also is part of that group.

   The ALTID and LANGUAGE parameters convert according to the rules as
   defined in Section 2.3.

2.14.  Extended Properties and Parameters

   These 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.  Property vCardProps

   Name:  vCardProps

   Type:  JCardProp[], where JCardProp denotes a jCard-encoded vCard
      property as defined in Section 3.3 of [RFC7095].

   Definition:  This property is set on a JSContact object that
      represents a vCard.  It contains properties that are set in the
      vCard represented by this JSContact object.  Each entry in this
      list typically represents a vCard property for which no conversion
      to an IANA-registered JSContact property is defined.

   Example:  This illustrates how to convert a vCard extension property:

      "vCardProps": [
        ["x-foo", {
          "x-bar": "Hello",
          "group": "item1"
        }, "unknown", "World!"]
      ]

                   Figure 46: JSContact vCardProps example

2.15.2.  Property vCardParams

   Name:  vCardParams

   Type:  String[String|String[]]

   Definition:  This property is set on a JSContact object that
      represents a vCard property.  Its value MUST be a JSON object
      containing vCard property parameters, defined as array element 2
      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"
          }
        }
      }

2.15.3.  Property vCardName

   Name:  vCardName

   Type:  String

   Definition:  This property is set on a JSContact object that

Internet-Draft               jscontact-vcard                  March 2024

      represents a vCard property or parameter and its value contains
      the name of that vCard element.  This allows to preserve the name
      of a vCard element when multiple elements convert the same
      JSContact object 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 OnlineService
      in JSContact.  The vCardName property value indicates that the
      vCard source element was IMPP:

      IMPP:xmpp:alice@example.com

      "onlineServices": {
        "os1": {
          "uri": "xmpp:alice@example.com",
          "vCardName": "impp"
        },
      }

                    Figure 48: JSContact vCardName example

3.  Converting JSContact to vCard

3.1.  Conversion Rules

   A Card 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 for each the PROP-ID
      parameter MUST be set to the Id of the converted value (see
      Section 2.3.16).

   *  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 full property is set, then implementations MUST use
         its value for the vCard FN property.

Loffredo & Stepanek     Expires 5 September 2024               [Page 45]
Internet-Draft               jscontact-vcard                  March 2024

      -  If the Name full property is not set, then implementations
         SHOULD derive the full name from the Name components 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, they MUST set the FN property 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 object types 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:  This property represents a JSContact property in vCard.

   Value type:  TEXT, also see Format Definition for value restrictions.

   Conformance:  The property 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

Loffredo & Stepanek     Expires 5 September 2024               [Page 46]
Internet-Draft               jscontact-vcard                  March 2024

      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.  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 [I-D.ietf-calext-jscontact].  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

Internet-Draft               jscontact-vcard                  March 2024

      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 50: 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

3.3.  New vCard Parameter

3.3.1.  JSCOMPS

   Parameter name:  JSCOMPS

   Purpose:  This parameter 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 the JSContact property and contains
      the verbatim values of separator components.

Loffredo & Stepanek     Expires 5 September 2024               [Page 48]
Internet-Draft               jscontact-vcard                  March 2024

      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 two 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 by default
          is zero, 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.
          Figure 52 and Figure 53 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 COMMA (U+002C), followed by zero or
          more Section 3.3 of param-value [RFC6350] characters, where
          the COMMA (U+002c) and SEMICOLON (U+003B) character MUST be
          escaped according to the rules defined in Section 3.4 of
          [RFC6350].  Figure 54 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.

Internet-Draft               jscontact-vcard                  March 2024

      *  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
            [I-D.ietf-calext-vcard-jscontact-extensions].

         -  All other values count once each.

   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" },

      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" },

      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.

3.3.2.  JSPTR

   Parameter name:  JSPTR

   Purpose:  This parameter contains a JSON pointer [RFC6901] that
      relates the vCard JSPROP (Section 3.2.1) property to a JSContact
      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"

4.  Security Considerations

   This specification defines how to convert between the JSContact and
   vCard formats.  The security considerations for parsing and
   formatting such data apply and are outlined in Section 5 of
   [I-D.ietf-calext-jscontact] and Section 9 of [RFC6350].

5.  Acknowledgements

   The definition and examples of the PHONETIC (Section 2.3.13) and
   SCRIPT (Section 2.3.17) parameters are based on the initial version
   of [I-D.calconnect-vobject-i18n].

7.  Implementation Status

   NOTE: Please remove this section and the reference to RFC 7942 prior
   to publication as an RFC.

   This section records the status of known implementations of the
   protocol as defined in this specification at the time of posting of
   this Internet-Draft, and is based on a proposal described in
   [RFC7942].  The description of implementations in this section is
   intended to assist the IETF in its decision processes in progressing
   drafts to RFCs.  Please note that the listing of any individual
   implementation here does not imply endorsement by the IETF.
   Furthermore, no effort has been spent to verify the information
   presented here that was supplied by IETF contributors.  This is not
   intended as, and must not be construed to be, a catalog of available
   implementations or their features.  Readers are advised to note that
   other implementations may exist.

   According to RFC 7942, "this will allow reviewers and working groups
   to assign due consideration to documents that have the benefit of
   running code, which may serve as evidence of valuable experimentation
   and feedback that have made the implemented protocols more mature.
   It is up to the individual working groups to use this information as
   they see fit".
