Auto-lead Data Format
Auto-lead Data Format (ADF) is an open XML-based standard specifically for communicating consumer purchase requests to automotive dealerships. Thirteen leading automotive-related Internet companies developed the ADF standard, and now many vendors of Customer Retention Management systems serving the automotive industry support ADF.
Example XML File
The example found in the Official ADF Specifications (PDF) does not pass XML validation and files based on this example may be rejected by ADF lead software. Below is an example that passes XML validation and has been accepted and parsed by ADF lead software:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?adf version="1.0"?>
<adf>
<prospect>
<requestdate>2000-03-30T15:30:20-08:0</requestdate>
<vehicle>
<year>2008</year>
<make>Make</make>
<model>Model</model>
</vehicle>
<customer>
<contact>
<name part="first">First</name>
<name part="last">Last</name>
<phone>323-223-3322</phone>
<email>emailaddress</email>
</contact>
</customer>
<vendor>
<contact>
<name part="full">Dealer Name</name>
</contact>
</vendor>
</prospect>
</adf>
Mime Type
As this is not an IETF standard, the recommended mime type to use is application/x-adf+xml
gollark: Honestly, I find it kind of spammy having that in random Reddit comments and stuff.
gollark: Or OC drones, with turtles on each end to place/break them.
gollark: fluxducts < turtles with energy cells in their inventory going back and forth constantly
gollark: Okay!
gollark: Must you use entirely too many IE wires for power transport?
