Summary: The Java Contactless Communication API (JSR 257) enables mobile devices to communicate via short-range wireless means, such as RFID, infrared light, or even Bluetooth, and presents such devices via a simple, homogeneous interface to Java applications. This article explains the role of the Java Contactless Communication API in the emerging field of near-field communications, and provides an example of reading data from any contactless target, including an RFID tag.

The Java Contactless Communication API (JSR 257) enables mobile devices that communicate via short-range wireless means, such as RFID, infrared light, or Bluetooth, to exchange data. This article explains the role of this new API in emerging near-field communications, and includes an example of reading data from any contactless target, such as an RFID tag.
