nim-vcard is a pure nim implementation of the VCard format defined in RFCs 2425, 2426, and 6350. It allows you to parse and serialize VCards, as well as create VCards programmatically. It aims to be a complete implememtation, supporting all of the features of the VCard3 standard. Because the standard provides many features that may be rarely used, this library also provides a simplified API for more typical use-cases.

Debugging

Need to clean up and organize

Run tvcard3 tests in gdb:

$ cd tests
$ nim --debuginfo --linedir:on c tvcard3
$ gdb --tui tvcard3
