JSCalendar: A JSON Representation of Calendar Data

Overview

RFC 8984, “JSCalendar: A JSON Representation of Calendar Data”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2021 by N. Jenkins, R. Stepanek. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

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. It also aims to be unambiguous, extendable, and simple to process. In contrast to the jCal format, which is also based on JSON, JSCalendar is not a direct mapping from iCalendar but defines the data model independently and expands semantics where appropriate.

What “Proposed Standard” means

An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
