CalDAV
CalDAV (Calendar Extensions to WebDAV) is an open internet standard protocol that allows clients to access and manage calendar data on a remote server, enabling synchronization of events, tasks, and reminders across devices and applications. It extends the WebDAV protocol with calendar-specific features, such as support for iCalendar format data, and is widely used for calendar sharing and collaboration in personal and enterprise environments.
Developers should learn CalDAV when building calendar applications, integrating calendar functionality into software, or implementing synchronization features for events and tasks across platforms. It is essential for creating interoperable calendar solutions that work with servers like Apple Calendar Server, Google Calendar (via CalDAV API), and other CalDAV-compliant services, ensuring data consistency and real-time updates.
