Hi,

I'd like to discuss the status of XEP 0075 with you.
My motivation to use it is to write an XMPP based application. It's a
distributed system with a web client for managing some entities.

There are several ways to communicate with application servers, e.g.

- - XEP 0009: Jabber RPC
- - XEP 0050: Ad-Hoc Commandd
- - XEP 0072: SOAP Over XMPP

But there are some drawbacks.
Jabber RPC/XML-RPC is an old and great protocol. But if you want to
manage a lot of entities with its properties it's sometimes
complicated to map the methods to the entities.
Ad-Hoc Commands are designed for human interaction and support only
simple data structures (XEP-0004). Of course you can use XEP 0244 but
it's still not really suited for machine to machine interaction.
SOAP is a modern way to interact between multiple systems but for my
case its too bloated for my needs.
In my opinion JOAP is a great protocol for handling a bunch of objects.

My questions:

- - Are there any other similar protocols?
- - Is it worth to work on that protocol?
- - What do you think should be improved?

Best regards
Markus Kohlhase

PS:
to play around with JOAP, I wrote some lines to have fun:
