Why XMPP

XMPP is a set of open XML technologies for real-time online communication, such as instant messaging, presence, multiparty chat, voice and video calls, and online collaboration. The core technology behind XMPP was refined in the Jabber open-source community in 2000 and formalized by the IETF in 2002 and 2003.
