The JMAP for Calendars RFC [1] is soon to get published by IETF. Disclaimer: I work for Fastmail and am the co-author of RFC 8984 [2] which defines the calendar event data model used in JMAP.

Are the protocols compatible enough such that someone could proxy JMAP to CalDAV?


Yes, but I am not aware of an existing proxy implementation that would accept JMAP requests and forward these to a CalDAV server, or the other way round.

What I do know for sure is that it‘s feasible for a calendar server to service both JMAP for Calendars and CalDAV. All our work in that regard is open-source in the Cyrus server [1] and is used at Fastmail.

Apart from the exchange protocol one also needs to convert between iCalendar and the data structures used in JMAP. For this, I am currently working on an IETF RFC [2]. Anyone also interested in implementing conversion between iCalendar and JSCalendar, please contact me! We have a test suite for interoperation tests.
