# @ohos.nfc.cardEmulation (Standard NFC Card Emulation)

The **cardEmulation** module implements Near-Field Communication (NFC) card emulation. You can use the APIs provided by this module to determine the card emulation type supported and implement Host Card Emulation (HCE).
HCE provides card emulation that does not depend on a secure element. It allows an application to emulate a card and communicate with an NFC card reader through the NFC service.

> **NOTE**
>
> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 6. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

## HCE and AID Declaration

Before developing an application related to HCE, you must declare NFC-related attributes in the **module.json5** file.
```json
{
  "module": {
    // Other declared attributes
    "abilities": [
      {
        // Other declared attributes
        "skills": [
          {
            "actions": [
              "ohos.nfc.cardemulation.action.HOST_APDU_SERVICE"
            ]
          }
        ],
        "metadata": [
          {
            "name": "payment-aid",
            "value": "your payment aid"
          },
          {
            "name": "other-aid",
            "value": "your other aid"
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
    "requestPermissions": [
      {
        "name": "ohos.permission.NFC_CARD_EMULATION",
        // Set reason to card_emulation_reason.
        "reason": "$string:card_emulation_reason",
      }
    ]
  }
}
```
> **NOTE**
>1. The **actions** field must contain **ohos.nfc.cardemulation.action.HOST_APDU_SERVICE** and cannot be changed.
>2. The **name** fields under **metadata** must be **payment-aid** or **other-aid** when application IDs (AIDs) are declared. Incorrect setting will cause a parsing failure.
>3. The **name** field of **requestPermissions** must be **ohos.permission.NFC_CARD_EMULATION** and cannot be changed.
