Json To Vcf Converter -
| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | JSON is an object {} not array [] | Wrap your object in square brackets: [...] | | Phone numbers missing | JSON key is "mobile", not "phone" | Edit the JSON to use "phone" OR use a converter that allows custom key mapping. | | Names appear as "Undefined" | JSON key is "fullName", not "name" | Pre-process JSON to rename keys. Use "Find and Replace" in Notepad++. | | Special characters (é, ñ) are garbage | Encoding mismatch | Ensure converter outputs UTF-8. If not, use a script. | | Only first contact imports | Missing END:VCARD or separators | Open VCF in text editor. Ensure each contact block ends with END:VCARD . | Part 8: Advanced Use Cases Converting Nested JSON Many APIs return nested JSON (address inside an object). A basic converter fails. Example:
Download the resulting contacts.vcf file. json to vcf converter
for item in data: vcard = vobject.vCard() vcard.add('fn').value = item.get('name', 'No Name') if 'phone' in item: vcard.add('tel').value = item['phone'] if 'email' in item: vcard.add('email').value = item['email'] vcf_file.write(vcard.serialize()) | Problem | Likely Cause | Solution |
for file in *.json; do cat "$file" | python json_to_vcf.py >> all_contacts.vcf done VCF supports base64-encoded images. Your JSON must contain a photo_base64 key. The converter must map this to PHOTO;ENCODING=b;TYPE=JPEG: . Most free online converters do not support this. Use Python with the vobject library for photos. Part 9: Privacy & Security Warning Be extremely careful with online JSON to VCF converters. | | Special characters (é, ñ) are garbage
