XMPP: get your shopping cart ready!

Your guide through the candy store of XMPP extensions


The eXtensibility of XMPP makes it extremely powerful. But it is easy to get lost in the supermarket of extensions. In this talk I will guide you though the extensions: how to read the labels? How to cook some common recipes? I will also show some exotic but nice ingredients. And last but not least: we will be having some protocol-fun!

The eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol, XMPP, has extensibility at its core. It is because of the extensibility that there is a vivid XMPP ecosystem: it is easy to adapt XMPP to new developments and to new use cases. The XMPP Standards Foundation maintains a list of extensions to XMPP. In this talk I will dive into this list of extensions: what kind of extensions are there? What statuses can an extension have? What extensions to use in some common use cases? And I will touch some exotic extensions for use cases you may never have thought about. Oh, and what is the story about these ‘humorous’ extensions, can a protocol be humorous?
