# RDF::vCard(3pm)

convert between RDF and vCard

## NAME

RDF::vCard - convert between RDF and vCard

## SYNOPSIS

```
 use RDF::vCard;
 use RDF::TrineShortcuts qw(rdf_string);

 my $input    = "http://example.com/contact-data.rdf";
 my $exporter = RDF::vCard::Exporter->new;

 my $data     = join '', $exporter->export_cards($input);
 print $data; # vCard 3.0 data

 my $importer = RDF::vCard::Importer->new;
 $importer->import_string($data);
 print rdf_string($importer->model => 'RDFXML');
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module doesn't do anything itself; it just loads RDF::vCard::Exporter  and RDF::vCard::Importer for you.

### RDF::vCard::Exporter

RDF::vCard::Exporter takes some RDF using the W3C's vCard vocabulary, and outputs RDF::vCard::Entity objects.

### RDF::vCard::Importer

RDF::vCard::Importer does the reverse.

### RDF::vCard::Entity

An RDF::vCard::Entity objects is an individual vCard. It overloads stringification, so just treat it like a string.

### RDF::vCard::Entity::WithXmlSupport

RDF::vCard::Entity::WithXmlSupport is a subclass of RDF::vCard::Entity, with a `"to_xml"` method. It requires XML::LibXML to be installed and working. The importer and exporter will try to create these if possible.

### RDF::vCard::Line

RDF::vCard::Line is internal fu that you probably don't want to touch.

## BUGS

If your RDF asserts that Alice is Bob's AGENT and Bob is Alice's AGENT, then RDF::vCard::Export will eat your face. Don't do it.
