1 Overview of Oracle Calendar SDK

The Oracle Calendar SDK is a set of functions, written in C/C++ with corresponding Java functions, that a developer can use to create applications that interface with Oracle Calendar. Using a native C interface, the SDK allows for implementation using any language that can call C functions natively.

Using standard iCalendar objects to represent meetings and events, a developer can use Oracle Calendar SDK functions to create programs that read/write calendar data, storing the information on the Oracle Calendar server.

In addition, a developer can use vCard objects with the Oracle Calendar SDK to create programs with address book functionality.

Examples of programs that can be created include custom interfaces to the Oracle Calendar server and migration utilities that allow for data extraction from any other system capable of producing iCalendar output.
