Things to know about XMPP.
The XMPP full form is Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP). Extensible Markup Language (XML) streams are used in the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) technology to exchange messages and presence notifications in almost real time. [XML is a language that establishes a set of guidelines for document coding in a way that is understandable to both humans and machines. Microsoft Office and iWork are a couple of examples of XML-based formats.]
Contrary to the majority of instant messaging protocols, XMPP is defined in an open standard and employs an open systems approach to development and application. Anyone may thus build an XMPP service and communicate with the implementations of other businesses. Since Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol is an open standard, implementations can be created under any kind of software license; a wide variety of server, client, and library implementations are available as free and open-source software, but there are also many freeware and commercial software implementations.
History of XMPP.
The Jabber open-source community created the XMPP protocol in 1999 for near real-time instant messaging (IM), presence information, and contact list maintenance under the original name Jabber. In addition to publish-subscribe systems, signaling for VoIP, video, and file transfer, gaming, Internet of Things applications like the smart grid, and social networking services, the protocol has been employed because it is extensible.
The XMPP full form is Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol. The XMPP protocol for streaming XML elements enables near-real-time message and information exchange over any network. It also offers the ability to access the user’s contact information and status information, which makes it more appropriate for application in a variety of industries with communication systems based on the Publish/Subscribe paradigm. Network administration, news feeds, content syndication, multiplayer gaming, multi-user collaboration, and real-time group chat are just a few of the use cases it may be applied to.
