+ * Contacts in general will be expressed as an array of key-value-pairs.
+ * The keys will match the property names defined in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2426#section-1
+ *
+ * Proposed workflow for working with contacts:
+ *  - search for the contacts
+ *  - manipulate the results array
+ *  - createOrUpdate will save the given contacts overwriting the existing data
+ *
+ * For updating it is mandatory to keep the id.
+ * Without an id a new contact will be created.
