Accessing the address book programmatically?

Hi,

I would like to integrate the user's address book (or more specifically the contact details of the current user) into my own (c++) desktop (Windows/MacOS/Linux) application for the user's convenience.

Is this possible at all? If so, where can I start reading to find out how to do this?

(If it's not possible through an API, is the address book file format documented somewhere, so I can read it directly?)

I don't need write access. I just need to be able to read the user's contacts.

Cheers, James

"(or more specifically the contact details of the current user)"

Sorry, that didn't make much sense. I meant the contact details of the current user's contacts as well as the email address(es) of the current user.

It is as SQL database, so I would expect there are ways to do that. Here is an example: https://www.sqlite.org/quickstart.html
