Smack is a library for communicating with XMPP servers to perform real-time communications, including
|
|
instant messaging and group chat.<p>

Smack Key Advantages
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Extremely simple to use, yet powerful API. Sending a text message to a user
|
|
can be accomplished in only a few lines of code:
|
|
|
|
<div class="code"><pre>
|
|
XMPPConnection connection = <font color="navy"><b>new</b></font> XMPPTCPConnection(<font color="green">"jabber.org"</font>);
|
|
connection.connect();
|
|
connection.login(<font color="green">"mtucker"</font>, <font color="green">"password"</font>);
|
|
Chat chat = connection.getChatManager().createChat(<font color="green">"jsmith@jivesoftware.com"</font>, new MessageListener() {
|
|
|
|
public void processMessage(Chat chat, Message message) {
|
|
System.out.println(<font color="green">"Received message: "</font> + message);
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
chat.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>Roster</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>
