Contact Could Have FN

The contact object in an APIs.json file includes a full name (FN) property, which specifies the formatted text corresponding to the contact name in the vCard for an API. This provides a quick and clear way to assign a person, group, or other point of contact to an API for addressing questions and providing support.
