What is the difference between Google's Contacts API and CardDav API?

我知道它们的实现方式不同,但在功能方面有什么区别?

Google CardDAV API 允许您使用 CardDAV protocol 访问 Google 个联系人 API。

vCard Extensions to WebDAV (CardDAV) is an address book client/server protocol designed to allow users to access and share contact data on a server.

Google 联系人 API 本身就是一个 Google 数据 API 协议。

GData (Google Data Protocol) provides a simple protocol for reading and writing data on the Internet, designed by Google. GData combines common XML-based syndication formats (Atom and RSS) with a feed-publishing system based on the Atom Publishing Protocol, plus some extensions for handling queries. It relies on XML or JSON as a data format.
