A vCard file consists of one or more vCards. All vCards begin with BEGIN:VCARD and end with END:VCARD. All vCards must contain the VERSION property, which specifies the vCard version. All other properties are optional and may appear in any order. Vendor-defined properties start with X-. Here is a simple example:
