}Description

About This Tool
Parses an iCalendar (`.ics`) feed into a JSON array of event objects. Standard event fields — summary, description, start/end time, location, organizer, attendees, recurrence rule — become keys in a JSON object.
Recurring events are represented with their `RRULE`; individual occurrences are not expanded.
Why Use This Tool
- Custom schedulers — Ingest public ICS feeds into a JSON-native app
- Calendar sync — Mirror an ICS feed into a database
- Analytics — Analyze event data programmatically
- Notifications — Build reminders off an ICS feed
Frequently Asked Questions
Are recurring events expanded?
No — the RRULE is returned as-is. Expand locally with a library like `rrule`.
Are timezones preserved?
Yes — DTSTART/DTEND retain their timezone identifier when present; UTC times end with `Z`.
What fields are extracted?
`summary`, `description`, `dtstart`, `dtend`, `location`, `organizer`, `attendees`, `rrule`, `uid`, and common extensions.
