Calendartxt

Calendartxt is a plain text file format used for storing calendar events. It is designed to be human-readable and easily parsable by software. Each event in a Calendartxt file is typically represented on a single line, with specific fields separated by delimiters, most commonly commas or tabs.

The structure of a Calendartxt event can vary, but common fields include the date, time, a description of the event, and optional location or attendees. For example, a simple event might look like: "2023-10-27,10:00 AM,Meeting with John,Conference Room A". More complex formats might include duration, recurrence rules, and time zone information.

The simplicity of Calendartxt makes it a versatile format. It can be generated or edited using any text editor, making it accessible to users without specialized software. Many calendar applications and tools support importing and exporting data in this format, facilitating data exchange between different systems. Its plain text nature also makes it suitable for version control and scripting. While not as feature-rich as binary formats like iCalendar (.ics), Calendartxt's ease of use and accessibility have made it a practical choice for basic calendar data management.
