- The title of this article is incorrect because of technical limitations. The correct title is vCalendar.
vCalendar is an older standard exchange format for calendar data promulgated by the Internet Mail Consortium (IMC). iCalendar is a newer standard (RFC 2445) for calendar data, heavily based on vCalendar.
Here is an example of information in vCalendar format:
