#+TITLE:XMPP Client Library

Aims

  1. XMPP Advanced Client and AV Calling compliance
  2. Must be possible to use to create clients on all platforms
  3. Do not restrict the kind of UI library users can make
  4. Make it easy to implement a new XML element

Strategies

  1. native Common Lisp library

    • From what I hear, it's a lot of work to write an XMPP client library, even if using TLS, XML, and DNS libraries.
    • EQL5-Android client for Android, iOS, and desktop

    • McCLIM client for desktop, web (Broadway backend; demo), Emacs (CLIME; demo), and TUI (ncurses backend)

      • Most of those backends are WIP, and I'm not aware of McCLIM having Windows or Wayland support…
    • An isomorphic web framework like CLOG may also be an option.

  2. [C] CFFI + libstrophe

    • libstrophe calls itself "minimalist"…might be about as much work as #1 to write the required features

  3. [Python] burgled-batteries/py4cl/cl-python + slixmpp/aioxmpp/nbxmpp

    • Will this work on Android and iOS?

      • cl-python + EQL5-Android might. cl-python runs Python in Lisp. Might not be performant, but it might work.

  4. [C++] Clasp/ECL + Swiften

    • Will this work on Android and iOS?

  5. [Java] ABCL + Smack

    • Will this work on Android and iOS? ABCL does not yet have Dalvik/ART support…

  6. [JavaScript] Parenscript + strophe.js/xmpp.js + ReactNative

    • I haven't heard of anyone using Parenscript + ReactNative to make cross-platform applications…try making a "hello world" cross-platform application?
  7. Make separate desktop-only learning project using #3 or #5. Later, take up #1.
