## Articles

- [Event Parsing](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v4/event-parsing.md) - When you give your calendar event data, whether it’s through an array, a json feed, or the addEvent method, you specify the event as a plain JavaScript object with properties. This object then gets “parsed” into a proper Event Object that is then exposed in other parts of the API, like the eventRender method.
- [Event Object](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v4/event-object.md) - A JavaScript object that FullCalendar uses to store information about a calendar event. It is exposed in various places of the API such as getEventById and provides methods for dynamic manipulation. It was originally parsed from a plain object.
- [Recurring Events](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v4/recurring-events.md) - A recurring event is an event that happens more than once, on a repeating schedule. When a repeating event is turned into individual event instances with individual dates, it is called “expanding” the event.
- [RRule Plugin](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v4/rrule-plugin.md) - The RRule plugin is a connector to the rrule js library. It is powerful for specifying recurring events, moreso than FullCalendar’s built-in simple event recurrence.

## Event Data Parsing

- [eventDataTransform](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v4/eventDataTransform.md) - A hook for transforming custom data into a standard Event object.
- [allDayDefault](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v4/allDayDefault.md) - Determines the default value for each Event Object’s allDay property when it is unspecified.
- [defaultTimedEventDuration](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v4/defaultTimedEventDuration.md) - A fallback duration for timed Event Objects without a specified end value.
- [defaultAllDayEventDuration](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v4/defaultAllDayEventDuration.md) - A fallback duration for all-day Event Objects without a specified end value.
- [forceEventDuration](https://legacy.fullcalendar.io/v4/forceEventDuration.md) - A flag to force assignment of an event’s end if it is unspecified.
