Description

XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) is an open-source protocol for real-time communication and collaboration. It is an application-layer protocol used for exchanging messages and presence information between two or more network endpoints. XMPP is based on the XML (Extensible Markup Language) format and is used for communication between clients and servers. XMPP is commonly used for instant messaging applications such as chat and video conferencing, as well as for real-time application such as games and virtual worlds. It is also used by websites for user authentication and presence information, and for instant messaging within webpages. XMPP provides a lightweight and secure way for users to communicate with each other, as well as providing an extensible platform for developers to build upon.
