Web NFC API

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The Web NFC API allows exchanging data over NFC via light-weight NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF) messages.

Note: Devices and tags have to be formatted and recorded specifically to support NDEF record format to be used with Web NFC. Low-level operations are currently not supported by the API, however there is a public discussion about API that would add such functionality.

Interfaces

NDEFMessage: Interface that represents NDEF messages that can be received from or sent to a compatible tag via a NDEFReader object. A message is composed of metadata and NDEF Records.
NDEFReader Experimental: Interface that enables reading and writing messages from compatible NFC tags. The messages are represented as NDEFMessage objects.
NDEFRecord: Interface that represents NDEF records that can be included in an NDEF message.
