All posts about XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol).
In this blog post we will dig deep into the core of Jaxl 2.0 – An XMPP framework written in PHP. Specifically, we will go through Jaxl core directory structure. Towards the end we will get familiar with various core classes and their available methods (e.g. $jaxl->sendMessage()), that developers can use in their XMPP applications.
In this blog post, we will write a sample XMPP bot (echobot) using Jaxl 2.0. In turn we will introduce ourselves to some of the basic functionality we can do using Jaxl e.g. fetching roster list, subscribing and unsubscribing to a user presence, etc. We will also focus on how to use XMPP extensions (XEP’s) inside our echobot code. Specifically, we will make use of XEP-0085 (chat state notification), XEP-0203 (delayed delivery) and XEP-0092 (software version) in our sample echobot application.
This blog post provides detailed instructions on how to download and setup Jaxl 2.0 for quick XMPP application development using PHP. We will also see how to run XMPP bots using Jaxl command line utility (now available by just typing jaxl on the terminal).
