Say I wanted to write a program that would export calendar data so that it could be imported into another calendar application. What would be some popular formats for that, and where could I find information on the formats of those files?

+2  A: 

Popular usage: Google summer of code have three different format options:

Important Dates

You can also check out our Google Calendar in several formats:

  • XML
  • ICAL
  • HTML

where html is not really an export format as such. I would start with looking into the ical and the xml format they use.
