[Standards] XMPP or NodeJS ?

2014-12-17 Thread kwaye kant
Hello to all, I had an idea to built an instant messaging application like WhatsApp. My research had oriented me to xmpp protocol. But this night I was having a discussion with a mate and he seemed to warn me to use nodeJs instead of Xmpp protocol. He was not able to explain to me the main

Hi Kwaye, Welcome to the list. NodeJS is a runtime that allows you to run Javascript code on a server. XMPP is a protocol that allows you to send messages between entities on a network. So these 2 do not compare. You can build an XMPP endpoint using NodeJS if you want. There is an

Further to the other comment, you suggested that implementing your own system, designed from scratch, would be easier than implementing a system which adheres to XMPP. This is absolutely correct. XMPP is not a trivial protocol to implement. It's possible to build something that will work to some

I have doubt. In every link, the approach is browser base. And what about a native programming language, Java ? I do understand there are librairies that can be used to simplify things. But before using one of them I wish to understand how it works. Thanks for you comments. 2014-12-17 9:37

Thanks Cramer, So I can not implement the node-xmpp-server and try to connect to with a Java code line. Because the node-xmpp-server does not expose its services to consume as a webservice. I think I can understand from now why my mate couldn't argue a lot :) Let me have a look on the ready-to-go

Not XEP-0277 but most pubsub clients should be able to use it at a very basic level. There are many bits that are 'extra' however. I'd like to see Buddycloud being as compatable as possible with 'standard' XMPP with its own sugar. On 17 Dec 2014 23:05, Goffi go...@goffi.org wrote: On 17/12/2014
