###  Need to test your iCalendar feeds?

The [ iCalendar Validator ](/validator.html) 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
](/RFC-Specifications/iCalendar-RFC-5545/) . We believe we have one of the
best iCalendar validation tools available on the internet. More information
about the validator can be [ found here ](/More-Info/about-the-icalendar-
validator.html) .

This site is maintained by [ Z Content ](http://zcontent.net) , a developer of
PHP iCalendar tools for the Joomla Content Management System. It is hoped this
site will help foster the use of iCalendar and open standards.
