JSCalendar: A JSON representation of calendar data
draft-ietf-calext-jscalendar-32
Abstract
This specification defines a data model and JSON representation of
calendar data that can be used for storage and data exchange in a
calendaring and scheduling environment. It aims to be an alternative
and, over time, successor to the widely deployed iCalendar data
format, and to be unambiguous, extendable, and simple to process. In
contrast to the jCal format, which is also JSON-based, JSCalendar is
not a direct mapping from iCalendar, but defines the data model
independently and expands semantics where appropriate.
