StanzaJS

Modern XMPP, with a JSON API.

---

What is this?

StanzaJS is a JavaScript/TypeScript library for using modern XMPP, and it does that by exposing everything as JSON. Unless you insist, you have no need to ever see or touch any XML when using StanzaJS.

Installing

npm install stanza

Echo Client Demo

import * as XMPP from 'stanza';

const client = XMPP.createClient({
    jid: 'echobot@example.com',
    password: 'hunter2',

    // If you have a .well-known/host-meta.json file for your
    // domain, the connection transport config can be skipped.
    transports: {
        websocket: 'wss://example.com:5281/xmpp-websocket',
        bosh: 'https://example.com:5281/http-bind'
    }
});

client.on('session:started', () => {
    client.getRoster();
    client.sendPresence();
});

client.on('chat', msg => {
    client.sendMessage({
        to: msg.from,
        body: 'You sent: ' + msg.body
    });
});

client.connect();
