Web NFC API

Limited availability

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.
