It’s been almost four years since the Calendar API has supported the JSON format . However, our existing JSON format isn’t perfect. It is very much an automatic translation from our Atom format and as a result it is very wordy and lacks the elegance that a native JSON dialect would offer. It also supports only read operations.Creating an event using JSON-C POST /calendar/feeds/default/private/full HTTP/1.1 Creating an event using Atom POST /calendar/feeds/default/private/full HTTP/1.1 In the example above the body of the request is 59% smaller in JSON-C than in Atom. If you use gzip compression, the saving is still 37% of the size of the Atom body. This could make a big difference in mobile or other bandwidth-constrained environments.Requesting an event in JSON-C GET /calendar/feeds/default/private/full/1234567890?alt=jsonc HTTP/1.1 Response HTTP/1.1 200 OKapplication/json; charset=UTF-8 For the request above, the body of the response is 53% smaller in JSON-C than in Atom - 30% smaller when using gzip compression.Developer’s Guide .

This update seems to have broken the exportFormat=html or maybe it's just coincidence?
Either way it seems to have broken for both the Calendar API and Google Docs
See open issue #300 for googlecl here
I'm sorry, this surely is the wrong place to ask for support, but on the official support forums nobody could help me so far...
Can somebody explain me why this calendar http://www.stellarivoli.it/Pages/Season_iCal.ashx, when imported in google calendar, is shown with the wrong name? The tag X-WR-CALNAME is being totally ignored and I can't figure out why.
I apologize for bothering you.
Thanks, bye!
Is there a way to add input from PHP into JSON so that it updates the calendar automatically?
I have a form that gets filled out, PHP processes the form and send a notification out. How can I turn the PHP processed data (date, event) to work with JSON
