Built-in support for auto-reading **card UIDs** and reading tags emulated with [**Android HCE**](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/nfc/hce.html).

> **NOTE:** Reading tag UID and methods for writing and reading tag content **depend on NFC reader commands support**.
It is tested to work with **ACR122 USB reader** but it should work with **all PC/SC compliant devices**.  
When detecting tags does not work see [Alternative usage](#alternative-usage).

This library uses pscslite native bindings [pokusew/node-pcsclite](https://github.com/pokusew/node-pcsclite) under the hood.
