VCF to JSON conversion on ConversionTab allows you to convert vCard (VCF) files or vCard text strings into JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format, suitable for storing and manipulating contact information.
You can input your VCF data in two ways:
Text Tab: Manually input VCF data as a valid string in this tab.
File Tab: Upload your VCF file through the 'Drop/Browse File' feature to simplify working with existing data.
ConversionTab supports various vCard versions, including 2.1, 3.0, and 4.0, ensuring compatibility with different data sources and formats.
After entering your VCF data or selecting a file, click the 'Convert' button to start the conversion process.
If your input data is not a valid VCF file or string, ConversionTab will display an error message, and the conversion will not proceed.
After conversion, you can customize the JSON output with the following options:
Mapping: Modify column names as needed.
Include: Select or deselect columns for the final JSON output.
Multi-Values: Customize how vCard fields with multiple values and types (such as Email, Phone, and Address) are presented in the output.
The following vCard fields support customization of multi-values and types in the output:
Email: Create separate JSON fields for each value and its associated type within these fields (e.g., Email, Email Work, Email Personal).
Phone: Generate separate JSON fields for each phone number and its associated type (e.g., Phone, Phone Mobile, Phone Home).
Address: Customize how multiple addresses are presented in the output JSON, including types (e.g., Address, Address Billing, Address Home).
The 'Multi-Values' checkbox is a versatile feature that allows you to tailor how vCard fields with multiple values and types are presented in the output JSON:
Create Separate Fields: When selected, this option generates distinct fields for each value and its associated type within fields with multiple values and types.
Combine with Separator: Alternatively, you can choose this option to combine multiple values with the same type into a single field using a specified separator, chosen by the user.
You can choose from the following separators:
Comma
Tab
Semi Colon (;)
Space
Colon (:)
Yes, you can click the 'Example' button to view a sample VCF in the text area to understand the conversion process.
To clear the output and begin a new conversion, simply click the 'Clear' button.
