The Zend Framework Project this morning released their new GData Client Library for interfacing with the Google Data APIs.
The Google data APIs (GData) provide a protocol for reading and writing data on the web. GData can use either Atom or RSS and has a feed-publishing system built on Atom with some custom extensions for handling queries.
From the GData page at Google:
All sorts of services can provide GData feeds, from public services like blog feeds or news syndication feeds to personalized data like email or calendar events or task-list items. The RSS and Atom models are extensible, so each feed provider can define its own extensions and semantics as desired while still conforming to the standards. A feed provider can provide read-only feeds (such as a search-results feed) or read/write feeds (such as a calendar application).
The GData Client Library comes packaged with example code for reading Google Base entries, and reading and writing for Google Calendar.
I’ll play with this more over the next few days and wrap these libraries in a Symfony plugin.
did you ever do this?
