ContactsLaw contacts can be represented in
XML form. This provides a simple, structured, human-and-machine-readable format for exchanging contacts between installations of ContactsLaw and third-party systems. It is also particularly useful for connecting ContactsLaw to web-based forms and other environments where the users providing the data may not have access to ContactsLaw itself.
An XML document containing contacts should be named with the .cl-conx extension. The file may contain multiple contacts, either in unstructured form or within a <contact> definition, using a <relatedContact> element. Addresses and communications can be inherited by related contacts.
Schema
Example
The following snippet demonstrates the ease with which contacts can be expressed in XML form:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<contacts xmlns="http://download.overtech.com.au/schemas/XMLContact.xsd">
<contact type="individual">
<names>
<firstName>Bradley</firstName>
