Smack Key Advantages
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Extremely simple to use, yet powerful API. Sending a text message to a user
|
|
can be accomplished in three lines of code:
|
|
|
|
<div class="code"><pre>
|
|
XMPPConnection connection = <font color="navy"><b>new</b></font> XMPPConnection(<font color="green">"jabber.org"</font>);
|
|
connection.login(<font color="green">"mtucker"</font>, <font color="green">"password"</font>);
|
|
connection.createChat(<font color="green">"jsmith@jivesoftware.com"</font>).sendMessage(<font color="green">"Howdy!"</font>);
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Doesn't force you to code at the packet level, as other libraries do. Smack provides
|
|
intelligent higher level constructs such as the <tt>Chat</tt> and <tt>GroupChat</tt>
|
|
classes, which let you program more efficiently.
|
|
|
|
<li>Does not require that you're familiar with the XMPP XML format, or even that you're familiar with XML.
|
|
|
|
<li>Provides easy machine to machine communication. Smack lets you set any number of properties on
|
|
each message, including properties that are Java objects.
|
|
|
|
<li>Open Source under the Apache License, which means you can incorporate Smack into your commercial or
|
|
non-commercial applications.
|
|
</ul>

About XMPP
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
XMPP (eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) is an open, XML based protocol
|
|
making it's way through the IETF approval process under the guidance of the
|
|
Jabber Software Foundation (<a href="http://www.jabber.org">http://www.jabber.org</a>).

How To Use This Documentation
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
This documentation assumes that you're already familiar with the main features of XMPP
|
|
instant messaging. It's also highly recommended that you open the Javadoc API guide and
|
