ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

CardDAV

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of a "contacts list"? It's a list of people's names, phone numbers, and maybe their email addresses that you can store on your phone or computer.

Well, CardDAV is a fancy computer language that helps your phone or computer talk to something called a "server" so you can access your contacts list from anywhere.

Let's pretend the server is like a big toy box, and your phone or computer is like your toy box at home. You can take your toys out and put them back in your toy box whenever you want, right? Well, CardDAV lets you do the same thing with your contacts list.

So, if you need to call your friend or email your teacher, you can easily access their information from your phone or computer. And the best part is you can update your contacts list from anywhere, and it'll be updated on every device that's connected to the server.

That's CardDAV in a nutshell, kiddo! It's just a clever way for your contacts list to stay organized and accessible no matter where you are.
