<p>
Smack is a library for communicating with XMPP (Jabber) servers to perform
instant messaging and chat.
<p class="subheader">
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>
