Example

function fromUTF8(str) {
  if (!str) {
    return null;
  }
  var buf = new Uint8Array(str.length);
  for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
    buf[i] = str.charCodeAt(i);
  }
  return buf;
}
var tnf     = 1;                                             // NFC Forum Well Known type
var type    = new Uint8Array(fromUTF8("U"));                 // URL type
var id      = new Uint8Array(fromUTF8(""));                  // id
var payload = new Uint8Array(fromUTF8("\u0003mozilla.org")); // URL data, with a short record prefix 0x3 replacing http://
var ndefRecords = [new MozNDEFRecord(tnf, type, id, payload)];
var nfcdom = window.navigator.mozNfc;
 nfcdom.onpeerready = function(event) {
  var nfcPeer = nfcdom.getNFCPeer(event.detail);  // 'event.detail' has sessionToken.
  var req = nfcpeer.sendNDEF(ndefRecords); // push NDEF message to other NFC device.
  req.onsuccess = function(e) {
    console.log("Successfully pushed P2P message");
  };
