ez-vcard uses the following dependencies. Many can be excluded, depending on the kind of vCard formats your application requires.

vinnie required

A lightweight library that reads and writes "vobject" data (vCard and iCalendar).

jsoup optional
Maven coordinates: org.jsoup:jsoup:1.16.1
HTML parser used for parsing hCards (HTML-encoded vCards).

FreeMarker optional
Maven coordinates: org.freemarker:freemarker:2.3.32

Apache Commons Codec
