What is a .vcf file?
VCF (vCard) is a plain-text format for electronic business cards, storing contact details like names, phone numbers, emails, and addresses as property lines within BEGIN and END VCARD blocks. Multiple vCards can be concatenated in one file. It is the standard for contact exchange across devices.
How to use this file
Use an example VCF to test contact import, multi-card parsing, property and encoding handling, and interoperability between address-book applications.
How to use this file for testing
“Organization and Address Contact - vCard 2.1” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Contact parsing, Conversion testing. vCard (.vcf) contact files with names, emails, phones, and addresses — for testing contact importers.
Documented properties for this file: CRLF · vCard 2.1. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.
Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.
Data fixtures document their exact quirks — delimiters, encodings, null handling, schema, and row counts — in the spec table. Point your parser or importer at the file and assert it handles the documented edge cases; clean and deliberately-messy siblings make before/after diffs straightforward.
