'''Google Contacts''' is the cloud-based storage of users' contact data and the various tools, web interfaces, APIs, and apps used to access it. It is used in various Google services, and synced to Android-based mobile devices.<br />
<br />
The cloud data can be accessed by apps using an API; previously it was the now-deprecated Contacts API, but the new API is the People API.<br />
<br />
It appears the local storage of contacts on mobile devices is in [[vCard]] format, or at least it's that way when it's copied somewhere where you can directly access it, though this could be happening via export from some undocumented internal format it's actually stored in.<br />
<br />
Another import/export format supported is "Google CSV", a [[CSV]] variety using these columns:<br />
<br />
