Contacts Object Structure

There are multiple mechanisms for contacting a place. For each available type of contact, the object contains an attribute that provides a list of contact details for that type. The possible types include:

New types may be added at any time and client applications should iterate over all available contact types instead of just using this predefined set, to ensure that they always display all available contact mechanisms to their users.

The contacts within a type are ordered by relevance. So clients that are only capable of displaying a single contact per type should always display the first entry. But in general, client applications should iterate over all contacts and use the label assigned to the contacts to distinguish them.

An example of multiple phone objects could be:

        }
  ],
  ...
}

Each individual contact item provides two attributes:
