JSJaC is an XMPP (formerly known as Jabber) client library written in JavaScript to ease implementation of web based XMPP clients. For communication with an XMPP server it needs to support either HTTP Polling or XMPP Over BOSH (formerly known as HTTP Binding) or XMPP Over WebSocket. JSJaC has an object oriented interface which should be quite easy to use. Communication is done by using the HTTPRequest object (also refered to as AJAX technology) or WebSocket. Your browser must support this. JSJaC is fully compatible with all major JavaScript frameworks.
Note: As security restrictions of most modern browsers prevent HTTP Polling from being usable anymore this module is disabled by default now. If you want to compile it in use 'make polling'.

Let's say your JSJaC based web application is located at http://example.com/. Your XMPP server is at jabber-example.com and it's HTTP Binding service is located at http://jabber-example.org:5280/ or https://jabber-example.org:5281/.
<VirtualHost *>
Servername example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/http-bind/ http://jabber-example.com:5280/http-bind/ [P]
</VirtualHost>
With this you'd end up having access to the Jabber server's service at http://example.com/http-bind/ (the httpbase address).
var oDbg = new JSJaCConsoleLogger(3);
var connector = new JSJaCHttpBindingConnection({
oDbg: oDbg,
httpbase: 'http://jabber-example.org:5280/http-bind/',
timerval: 500
});

JSJaCConnection supports use of JSDebugger which is available separately.
JSJaC also ships with a class JSJaCConsoleLogger
which lets you log to
Firebug's and Safari's console.
For an example on how to use this library within your web application
please have to look at examples/simpleclient.html

you've downloaded JSJaC as a tarball. Otherwise you can generate it on
your own by make doc
