RFC 3920: Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP): Core

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 6120.

Current version: RFC 6120 — Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP): Core

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

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.
