Evert Pot's Blog:
Converting ICalendar to XML
Sep 03, 2009 @ 15:40:13

Evert Pot has a new post to his blog today looking at a handy script he's developed to convert data formatted in the CalDAV syntax and push it back out as XML.

ICalendar objects have properties, components (such as VEVENT, VTODO) and attributes. This is awfully familiar to XML. So instead of trying to come up with a complicated parser and object structure, I decided to just convert it to XML and use PHP's simplexml.

The post includes the code that does the conversion, an example of CalDAV formatted data and the XML that it would output to.

In a pointer from this blog post on Adam Trachtenberg's site today, there's a story of some struggles that Tim Bray has been having when it comes to online calenders and coordinating with those in his life.

Here’s the problem: Dr. Wood and I both have complicated jobs plus we have a family, so just like everyone else in the world, keeping in sync is a problem. Herewith a painful half-finished story of trying to solve it with technology. The conclusion is painfully obvious: whoever first provides a family-scheduling tool that non-geeks can use and Just Works with the tools most people run their calendars on is going to make a lot of money and do Humanity a major service.
