Reads QR codes that have a URL in them, and expects a JSON response formatted like this example:

{
    data: {
        ImageKey: {
            type: "picture",
            data: "base64 encoded image string",
            subdata: "jpeg"
        },
        HeaderKey: {
            type: "text",
            data: "Some Person",
            subdata: "Some Subdued Text"
        },
        AvatarKey: {
            type: "picture"
            data: "base64 encoded image string",
            subdata: "png"
        },
        ActionKey: {
            type: "action",
            subtype: "call",
            data: "Call Person",
            subdata: "1234567890"
        },
        TextKey: {
            type: "text",
            data: "Person Name",
            subdata: "Person Date of Birth"
        },
        TitleKey: {
            type: "text",
            data: "List Title"
        }
    },

    display: [
        {
            cardType: "glance",
            image: "ImageKey",
            header: "HeaderKey",
            avatar: "AvatarKey",
            footerActions: [
                "ActionKey"
            ],
            footerTexts: [
                "TextKey"
            ]
        },
        {
            cardType: "list",
            title: "TitleKey",
            data: [
                "LiteralString",
                "LiteralString2"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Data Objects

Data Objects (eg, those in data) have this general format:

{
    type (required)
    subtype
    data (required)
    subdata
}

• type is one of picture, text, action, or list.

• subtype currently only applies to action, and it can be email or call. The contact information is stored in subdata.

• data and subdata are arbitrary strings. subdata only currently applies to text, action, and picture. For text it is some subdued text shown beneath. For picture it is the image type (ie, png, or jpeg). action is described above.

Card Objects

Card Objects (eg, those in display) vary in format based on the card type. Currently, there are two card types: glance and list.

glance follows this format:

{
    cardType (required)
    image
    header
    avatar
    footerActions
    footerTexts
}

• cardType is "glance".
• image is a key to a Data Object (with the type picture).
• header is a key to a Data Object (with the type text).
• avatar is a key to a Data Object (with the type picture).
• footerActions is an array of keys to Data Objects (with the type action).
• footerTexts is an array of keys to Data Objects (with the type text).

list follows this format:

{
    cardType (required)
    title
    data
}

• cardType is "list".
• title is an arbitrary string.
• data is a key to a Data Object (with the type list).
