[jdev] Questions about XMPP transports dev.

[Jo Galara]

Hi,

I'm going write a transport which connects to another IM system, I'm
planning to use C(++).

- Can you recommend some source of information about XMPP transports and
their protocol.

- Are there any libraries I can use to make my life easier?

XEP0114 is a good place to start. [0]

I don't know about C++ libraries myself, but the list [1] on xmpp.org
has several.

XEP-0114 defines component connections.

Swiften (http://swift.im/swiften) supports component connections, and
is used by the main C++ transport project (Spectrum -
http://spectrum.im) these days.

You might also consider talking to the Spectrum project, and see if
you can save yourself some work by resusing their code. I think you
should need to only implement the code to connect to the other network
if you use their 'libtransport'.
