The Web NFC API is one of the most exciting web platform features in years. It lets web apps read and write NFC tags directly from the browser — no native app required. Imagine progressive web apps that can configure smart posters, exchange contact info, automate home devices, or even serve as digital tickets… all with a simple tap.
But for Web NFC to reach its full potential, we need great documentation, examples, tools, and real-world testing across devices and browsers.
That’s exactly why we created webnfc.org — an open-source hub dedicated entirely to Web NFC.
What is webnfc.org Offers Today
- A complete beginner-friendly Web NFC tutorial series
- Ready-to-run code examples (reading NDEF messages, writing tags, formatting tags, etc.)
- An online NFC Tag Emulator for testing without physical tags A live Web NFC Playground where you can experiment in the browser right now
- Browser compatibility tables and troubleshooting guides
- Curated list of real-world Web NFC demos and production sites And the best part? Everything is open source and community-driven.
