Intro
NFC Data Exchange Format, or NDEF, is the most widely supported format for writing and reading NFC tag data. It’s a lightweight, binary message format used to encapsulate arbitrary data like URL’s or MIME-TYPE. The format is composed of NDEF Messages which contain an array of NDEF Records each encapsulating a certain type of data.
