Extending the Jabber Architecture: Clients

This document will assist in the construction of a Jabber Client.

WORK IN PROGRESS

There is a large body of information and learning curve here, so we'll start out simple then work up to the more complex issues. Important things to note before we start:

• Almost everything is optional! Clients can be as simple or complex as they desire!
• Clients do not have any specific configuration or knowledge of other transports. That means there shouldn't be anything "ICQ" or "AIM" specific.
• Server connections are a simple continuous TCP stream.
• There are no client to client direct communications, everything passes through the server.
• Clients will need to be able to understand XML.
