What is the difference between iCalendar and CalDav?
866
CalDAV synchronizes calendar data across different devices and is available through your Hover email account. It utilizes Apple's iCalendar format and is compatible with Android, Gmail, Mac OS X, iOS 5+, and Thunderbird. All functionality, such as editing and RSVP, are available.
The Internet Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object Specification (iCalendar) is a media type which allows users to store and exchange calendaring and scheduling information such as events, to-dos, journal entries, and free/busy information.
Google provides a CalDAV interface that you can use to view and manage calendars using the CalDAV protocol.
The webcal scheme was devised for use with the Apple iCal application and has become a common de facto standard for accessing iCalendar formatted files via WebDAV, usually using GET method. It is not an official URI scheme, such as http and ftp , as registered with IANA.
CalDAV is a protocol extension for WebDAV and can used to manipulate data in the iCalendar format. So CalDAV is like the HTTP for calendar stuff, and iCalendar is like HTML.
