Libraries: XMPPHP

$connection = new XMPPHP_XMPP(

Libraries: Jaxl

Libraries: Strophe.js
var connection = new Strophe.Connection('/bind');

}
});


Examples: setup


Examples: messages

• Browser

• Log

• Adium


Example: IQ ping pong (1)
this.statusHandler = function (status) {
var me = this;
me.connection.addHandler(
function(msg) { //(Function) handler
return me.handlePong(msg);
},
null, //(String) ns
'iq', //(String) name
null, //(String) type
'pingPong'); //(String) id

me.sendPing(Strophe.getDomainFromJid(me.connection.jid));
}
};



this.sendPing = function (to)
{
var me = this; <iq
to='demo'
type='get'
var iq = $iq({
id='pingPong'
to to,
:
xmlns='jabber:client'>
type : 'get', <ping
id : 'pingPong' xmlns='urn:xmpp:ping'/>
}).c('ping', </iq>
{xmlns: 'urn:xmpp:ping'});

me.connection.send(iq);
};


this.handlePong = function (msg)
{
var me = this;
var objMsg = $(msg);
var from = objMsg.attr('from');
me.log('Receiving ' + objMsg.attr('type') +
' from "' + objMsg.attr('from') +
'" with id "' + objMsg.attr('id') + '"');
me.connection.disconnect();
};

<iq xmlns="jabber:client"
type="result" id="pingPong"
from="demo" to="demo1@demo/eeffca60"/>


Example: support chat (1)
this.bindSendMessage = function ()
{
var me = this;
var chatMsg = $('#message');

$('#sendMessage').bind('click', function() {
me.sendChatMessage(chatMsg.val());
me.resetTextarea(chatMsg);
});

chatMsg.keyup(function(event) {
if (event.keyCode == 13 && event.shiftKey) {
me.sendChatMessage(chatMsg.val());
me.resetTextarea(chatMsg);
}
});
};

this.statusHandler = function (status)
{
var me = this;
me.logStatus(status);
me.connection.addHandler(
function(msg) { //(Function) handler.
return me.handleChatMessage(msg);
},
null, //(String) ns
'message', //(String) name
'chat'); //(String) type
}
};



this.handleChatMessage = function (msg)
{
var me = this;

var from = objMsg.attr('from');
var nick = Strophe.getNodeFromJid(from);
var body = objMsg.children('body').text();

me.addMessageToChat(nick, body);

return true;
};


this.addMessageToChat = function (nick, body)
{
var me = this;
var container = $('#chat');
var atBottom =
container.scrollTop() >=
container[0].scrollHeight - container.height();

container.append('<dt>'+ nick +'</dt><dd>'+
me.nl2br(body, true) +'</dd>');

if (atBottom) {
container.scrollTop(container[0].scrollHeight);
}
};


Example: statistics

this.handleHighChartData = function (msg)
{
var me = this;

var body = objMsg.children('body').text();

me.chart.series[0].setData(jQuery.parseJSON(body));
return true;
};


Example: prebind BOSH (1)

• SID - RID

• Security

• User friendly

• Performance

• Persisting


Example: prebind BOSH(2)
this.initConnection = function ()
{
var me = this;

me.connection = new Strophe.Connection(me.httpBindUrl);

me.connection.attach(
me.options.service.jid,
me.options.service.sid,
me.options.service.rid,
function (status) {
me.statusHandler(status);
});
};
