| About Apache Vysper |
| |
| This project aims at delivering a server implementation of both the core and IM parts of the XMPP protocol |
| (as specified in RFCs 3920 [1] + 3921 [2]). |
| |
| "Vysper" is pronounced like in "whisper". |
| |
| XMPP[3] is an open, secure and extensible instant messaging protocol which has evolved from Jabber. |
| It provides interoperability features for communication with other XMPP and non-XMPP servers. |
| It is used and supported by many IM applications, both client and server. |
| |
| The protocol and its many extensions (called XEPs) are maintained by the XMPP Standards Foundation (XSF) [4]. |
