'''XHTML Friends Network''' ('''XFN''') is an [[HTML]] [[microformat]] developed by [[Global Multimedia Protocols Group]] that provides a simple way to represent human relationships using links. XFN enables web authors to indicate relationships to the people in their [[blogroll]]s by adding one or more keywords as the [[Rel attribute|''rel'' attribute]] to their links.<ref name="Social networking beginning to take shape on the Web">{{cite web|url=https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/20031229/paul29/social-networking-beginning-to-take-shape-on-the-web|title=Social networking beginning to take shape on the Web|last=Andrews|first=Paul|date=2003-12-29|work=The Seattle Times Business & Technology section page C1|publisher=The Seattle Times|access-date=2009-07-13}}</ref><ref name="DasGupta2009">{{cite book|author=Subhasish DasGupta|title=Social Computing: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools and Applications|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dLRK_Ep_uc8C&pg=PA1614|access-date=16 December 2012|date=November 2009|publisher=Idea Group Inc (IGI)|isbn=978-1-60566-985-4|pages=1614}}</ref><ref name="Haine2006">{{cite book|author=Paul Haine|title=HTML Mastery: Semantics, Standards, and Styling|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wm0Yip3Zo78C&pg=PA122|access-date=16 December 2012|date=12 December 2006|publisher=Friends of ED|isbn=978-1-59059-765-1|pages=122}}</ref> XFN was the first [[microformat]], introduced in December 2003.<ref name="Social networking beginning to take shape on the Web">{{cite web|url=https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/20031229/paul29/social-networking-beginning-to-take-shape-on-the-web|title=Social networking beginning to take shape on the Web|last=Andrews|first=Paul|date=2003-12-29|work=The Seattle Times Business & Technology section page C1|publisher=The Seattle Times|access-date=2009-07-13}}</ref>{{failed verification|date=February 2024}}<br />

==Example==<br />
<br />
A friend of Jimmy Example could indicate that relationship by publishing a link on their site like this:<br />
<br />
:<syntaxhighlight lang="html" inline><a href="http://jimmy.example.com/" rel="friend">Jimmy Example</a></syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
Multiple values may be used, so if that friend has met Jimmy:<br />
<br />
:<syntaxhighlight lang="html" inline><a href="http://jimmy.example.com/" rel="friend met">Jimmy Example</a></syntaxhighlight><br />
