libnfc - features

libnfc provides the following features for easy NFC application development:

• Complete coverage of low-level PN53x chipset commands
• Written in pure and plain C for portability and speed
• Easy to use programmers API for simple and advanced features
• Released under the open source GNU Lesser General Public licence
• Compatible with very cheap but advanced NFC hardware devices
• Compiles “out of the box” on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows
• Does not require any knowledge of RFID 13.56mhz modulation
• Supports ISO14443-A/B, ISO18092 (p2p) and JIS X 6319-4 modulation
• Implements NXP MIFARE Classic and Sony Felica protocol
• Can transform your NFC device into a initiator (reader) or target (tag)
• Allows complete control of the transmitted data frames
• Accepts transmission of incorrect or empty CRC information
• Provides a way to send arbitrary and incorrect parity bits
• Supports sending of incomplete byte-frames (e.g. 4 bits error message)
• Allows configuration of advanced chip registers and modulation settings
• Very useful for performing research on hardware and protocol level
• Easy start-up example applications/tools for a quick start
