smackSmack Extensions User Manual
============================

The XMPP protocol includes a base protocol and many optional extensions
typically documented as "XEP's". Smack provides the org.jivesoftware.smack
package for the core XMPP protocol, and the org.jivesoftware.smackx package
for many of the protocol extensions.

This manual provides details about each of the "smackx" extensions, including
what it is, how to use it, and some simple example code.
