Google Data APIs provide programmatic interface to some of Google's
online services. The Google data Protocol is based upon the Atom Publishing
Protocol and allows client applications to retrieve data matching queries,
post data, update data and delete data using standard HTTP and the
Atom syndication formation. The Zend_Gdata component is a
PHP 5 interface for accessing Google Data from PHP.
The Zend_Gdata component also supports accessing other services
implementing the Atom Publishing Protocol.
See http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/ for more information about Google Data API.
