xmpp.js is a JavaScript library for XMPP.
Get started
goals
universal
Runs everywhere JavaScript runs and makes use of the best network transport available.
xmpp.js is known to be used with browsers, Node.js, WebWorker, React Native, Bun, Deno, GJS and Duktape.
reliable
By default, it handles errors and will automatically reconnect. With appropriate configuration it will even loop through a list of endpoints. You don't have to write a single line of code to handle network failures.
Releases follow the Semantic Versioning specification
modular
Each feature is implemented as a module that can be added or removed easily. Including core XMPP features.
small
We avoid third party dependencies.
For the web, we make the sure the default client doesn't exceed 13 kb (gzipped), for reference, that's less than half the size of React.
