VEVENTlike
VEVENTlike is a term used in software design to describe an event-oriented data construct that mirrors the structure of a VEVENT component from the iCalendar specification but is not itself bound to that standard. It is commonly used as an internal or interoperable representation of calendaring data in applications that manage events without requiring strict adherence to ICS for exchange.
Core properties typically found in a VEVENTlike object include a unique identifier (uid), start and end times
Representation and mapping: VEVENTlike objects can be serialized as JSON for API payloads, stored in databases,
Use cases: VEVENTlike is useful for internal event stores, API schemas for calendar features, and cross-system
Limitations: Because VEVENTlike is not a formal standard, inconsistent field naming and semantics can lead to
