NFC Tag Scanner

Read and write physical Near Field Communication (NFC) tags natively. Nativine embeds native CoreNFC (iOS) and Android NFC Adapter bridges, allowing your application to scan NDEF tags, RFID cards, smart posters, and physical asset tags.

1. Overview & Native Capabilities

NFC scanning connects web software to physical objects. Nativine's native NFC Tag Scanner plugin exposes hardware tag reading directly to web view JavaScript:

• NDEF Tag Reading & Writing: Parse NDEF text, URL records, MIME payloads, and write custom NDEF data back to writeable tags.
• Background NFC Tag Launching: Automatically launch or wake the mobile app when the phone touches an NFC tag.
• ISO 7816 Smart Card Support: Communicate with physical access control cards, passports, and transit passes.
