Contacts (Java)

A terminal-based application to create contacts and search for people or organizations by name.

• User can add two types of contacts: Person, and Organization.
• Each type has its own set of fields with some fields in common between both types.
• The phone number is checked with regex to ensure it is a valid number.
• The list of contacts is saved to an external file which can be passed in as a command line argument to enable serialization.
• The program loads data from this file the next time it is run with the same command line argument.
