XEPs aren't, however, a mandatory feature in the library (altought there are many XEPs that I will try to implement). I am going to use a xml parser library in lingo to handle the protocol and a TCP/IP shockwave Xtra (Plugin) to connect to the jabber server. | ||

Coding the XEPs whould be pretty straightforwared, and would bring me some nice results too ... I still don't understand the need to code the "Core Protocol", but since it is called "Core" it should be VERY important ... | ||

SASL is required by the xmpp rfc, which means that if you want your implementation to claim that it uses xmpp, then you have to implement SASL. However, TLS is optional. Its a really really good idea, but it is not strictly required. - [[User:Zion|Zion]] | SASL is required by the xmpp rfc, which means that if you want your implementation to claim that it uses xmpp, then you have to implement SASL.
