Libical — an implementation of iCalendar protocols and data formats
Most of the code in here was written by Eric Busboom at the end of the last millennium with help from dozens of contributors. It is currently maintained by Allen Winter and the libical team at https://github.com/libical/libical.
Libical is an Open Source implementation of the iCalendar protocols and protocol data units. The iCalendar specification describes how calendar clients can communicate with calendar servers so users can store their calendar data and arrange meetings with other users.
Thanks to our contributors.
