Idiomatic XMPP server library for node.js

Please see http://node-xmpp.github.io/doc/nodexmppserver.html for instructions on how to use node-xmpp-server.

Note: We now only support nodejs versions 0.8.0 and greater.

With package manager npm:

npm install node-xmpp-server

Install the dev dependencies, then...

npm test

To run the tests and the code style checks then use:

grunt test

Also see the tests run in travis. The tests in travis run both the code and code style tests.

Please see the various examples.

• Use node.js conventions, especially EventEmitter, ie. for write buffer control
• Fast parsing, node-expat was written for this library
• Optional server infrastructure with Router
• After authentication, leave trivial protocol bits to the user, that is XML handling according to any XEP

• Client authentication with SASL DIGEST-MD5, PLAIN, ANONYMOUS, X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM
• _xmpp-client._tcp SRV record support
• Simple JID parsing with Stringprep normalization
  • Optional now, you won't need ICU for just node-xmpp
  • Please be aware if you identify users by JIDs
  • npm install node-stringprep
• Uses ltx
  • Much easier to handle than a standard DOM
  • xmlns-aware
  • Easy XML builder like Strophe.js (see down)
  • Non-buffering serialization
  • Was split out of node-xmpp for modularization and resuability
• Component connections
• Run your own server/talk to other servers with xmpp.Router

• node-xmpp-core

Optional

• node-stringprep: for icu-based string normalization.

Strophe.js' XML Builder is very convenient for producing XMPP stanzas. ltx includes it in a much more primitive way: the c(), cnode() and t() methods can be called on any Element object, returning the new child element.

This can be confusing: in the end, you will hold the last-added child until you use up(), a getter for the parent. Connection.send() first invokes tree() to retrieve the uppermost parent, the XMPP stanza, before sending it out the wire.
