Description

Apache Vysper is a modular, Java based XMPP/Jabber server. This project aims at developing a Vysper extension that enables AJAX clients to be a XMPP client, for example making it simple to expose IM/chat functionality in web apps.

BOSH (XEP-124, XEP-206) defines a protocol where XMPP/Jabber can be used by AJAX clients. Also, with the development of WebSockets within the HTML5 work, WebSockets could be used as a way for browsers to communicate with Apache Vysper. This project could use either (or both) these protocols.
