[jira] [Updated] (ANY23-390) No iCalendar extractor

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ANY23-390?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Hans Brende updated ANY23-390:
------------------------------
    Description: 
We have an hCalendar extractor (that extracts iCalendars embedded in html/xhtml pages), but I don't see any actual iCalendar extractor (i.e. one that parses the "text/calendar" mimetype.)

Looking around for good Java implementations of the iCal format brought me these contenders:

1. ical4j  
https://github.com/ical4j/ical4j   
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.mnode.ical4j/ical4j

2. biweekly
https://github.com/mangstadt/biweekly
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sf.biweekly/biweekly

Both projects seem to be actively developed. Although ical4j is older and more widely used, I'm leaning towards Biweekly, as it supports the vCalendar, iCalendar, xCal, and jCal formats, whereas ical4j currently only appears to support the iCalendar format.
