3.5. Property

A property is the definition of an individual attribute describing a calendar object or a calendar component. A property takes the form defined by the "contentline" notation defined in Section 3.1.

The following is an example of a property:

 DTSTART:19960415T133000Z

This memo imposes no ordering of properties within an iCalendar object.

Property names, parameter names, and enumerated parameter values are case-insensitive. For example, the property name "DUE" is the same as "due" and "Due", DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:19980714T120000 is the same as DtStart;TzID=America/New_York:19980714T120000.

Need to test your iCalendar feeds?

The iCalendar Validator provides developers and testers a method to validate their iCalendar feeds, which can take data from either a URL, file or text snippet and compare it against the RFC 5545 specification.  We believe we have one of the best iCalendar validation tools available on the internet. More information about the validator can be found here.
