Overview
XMPP is an open, decentralized, and extensible protocol for real-time communication and presence information. It enables the exchange of structured data between any two or more network endpoints. XMPP's core purpose is to provide a vendor-neutral and interoperable platform for instant messaging, group chat, voice and video calls, and various other real-time applications. It is used by millions daily and is the basis for emerging technologies like IoT, WebRTC, online gaming, and real-time social applications. Unlike proprietary messaging systems, XMPP is free and open source, allowing developers to integrate its functionality into their own software using published specifications. The XMPP Standards Foundation actively develops and maintains the protocol, ensuring its continued relevance and security.
