adx - addressbook.xml Files

adx - addressbook.xml
adx is a minimalistic but massively web enabled address book for contact management running completely in web browser. Own your own data!
Features: XML based, small (<200KB), lightweight, portable, contact tagging, geo mapping, web accounts, etc.
Export functionality: vCard download, QR code generator (offline) for (vCard, WiFi, free text), Embedded Microformats (hCard 1.0, XFN).

How it works: XML + XSLT = HTML
Your addressbook (XML file) is transformed in your web browser (via XSLT) to a full-featured web application (HTML).

- Load addressbook.xml in a modern web browser (see known issues below if it doesn't work out of the box).
- Click on a entry to show details for this contact
- Most entries in contact details are clickable (e.g. direct calling phone numbers via Skype, address lookup in Google Maps, etc.)
- To add contacts just edit addressbook.xml in a text/xml editor of your choice.


Supported web browsers:
- Basically all modern web browsers are supported on any OS
- Recommended browser: Firefox (fastest for adx and works out of the box for online and offline/local usage)
- Chrome, Chromium, Opera, Vivaldi, IE, Edge, Safari: work but may need a workaround upfront: 
  See https://sourceforge.net/p/adx/wiki/Home/#tested-web-browser


How to update from a previous version of adx:
