Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol : Core
RFC 3920, “Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol : Core”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2004 by P. Saint-Andre. It has since been updated by RFC 6122. It has been obsoleted by RFC 6120 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo defines the core features of the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), a protocol for streaming Extensible Markup Language (XML) elements in order to exchange structured information in close to real time between any two network endpoints. While XMPP provides a generalized, extensible framework for exchanging XML data, it is used mainly for the purpose of building instant messaging and presence applications that meet the requirements of RFC 2779. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
