1 (res_jabber is very experimental!)
3 Jabber(xmpp) is an xml based protocol primarily for presence and messaging.
4 It is an open standard and there are several open server implementations,
5 ejabberd, jabberd(2), wildfire, and many others, as well as several open source
6 clients, Psi, gajim, gaim etc. Jabber differs from other IM applications as it
7 is immensly extendable. This allows us to easily integrate Asterisk with
8 jabber. The Asterisk Jabber Interface is provided by res_jabber.so. res_jabber
9 allows for Asterisk to connect to any jabber server via the standard client
10 protocol or also as a simple client. Several simple functions are exposed to
11 the dial plan, jabberstatus, jabbersend, and soon jabberrecv. res_jabber is also used
12 to provide the connection interface for chan_jingle.
14 The maintainer of res_jabber is Matthew O'Gorman <mogorman@digium.com> or
15 mog_work on irc or (preferred) mogorman@astjab.org over jabber.
