0124Bidirectional-streams Over Synchronous HTTP (BOSH)Standards TrackDraft2010-07-02boshThis specification defines a transport protocol that emulates the semantics of a long-lived, bidirectional TCP connection between two entities (such as a client and a server) by efficiently using multiple synchronous HTTP request/response pairs without requiring the use of frequent polling or chunked responses. 0045Multi-User ChatStandards TrackDraft2008-07-16mucThis specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for multi-user text chat, whereby multiple XMPP users can exchange messages in the context of a room or channel, similar to Internet Relay Chat (IRC). In addition to standard chatroom features such as room topics and invitations, the protocol defines a strong room control model, including the ability to kick and ban users, to name room moderators and administrators, to require membership or passwords in order to join the room, etc. 0001XMPP Extension ProtocolsProceduralActive2010-03-10N/AThis document defines the standards process followed by the XMPP Standards Foundation. 0003Proxy Accept Socket Service (PASS)HistoricalObsolete2009-06-03passThis document defines a method for relaying media via proxies on the Jabber/XMPP network. 0004Data FormsStandards TrackFinal2007-08-13x-dataThis specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for data forms that can be used in workflows such as service configuration as well as for application-specific data description and reporting. The protocol includes lightweight semantics for forms processing (such as request, response, submit, and cancel), defines several common field types (boolean, list options with single or multiple choice, text with single line or multiple lines, single or multiple JabberIDs, hidden fields, etc.), provides extensibility for future data types, and can be embedded in a wide range of applications. The protocol is not intended to provide complete forms-processing functionality as is provided in the W3C XForms technology, but instead provides a basic subset of such functionality for use by XMPP entities. 0008IQ-Based AvatarsHistoricalDeferred2005-06-16NoneThis specification provides historical documentation of an IQ-based protocol for exchanging user avatars. 0009Jabber-RPCStandards TrackFinal2011-11-10jabber-rpcThis specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for transporting XML-RPC encoded requests and responses between two XMPP entities. The protocol supports all syntax and semantics of XML-RPC except that it uses XMPP instead of HTTP as the underlying transport. 0011Jabber BrowsingHistoricalObsolete2009-06-03iq-browseThis document defines a way to describe information about Jabber entities and the relationships between entities. Note: This document is superseded by XEP-0030: Service Discovery. 0012Last ActivityStandards TrackFinal2008-11-26iq-lastThis specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for communicating information about the last activity associated with an XMPP entity. It is typically used by an IM client to retrieve the most recent presence information from an offline contact by sending a last activity request to the server that hosts the account controlled by the contact. 0013Flexible Offline Message RetrievalStandards TrackDraft2005-07-14offlineThis specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for flexible, POP3-like handling of offline messages. The protocol enables a connecting client to retrieve its offline messages on login in a controlled fashion, without receiving a flood of messages. Messages can also be left on the server for later retrieval. 0016Privacy ListsStandards TrackDraft2007-02-15privacyThis specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for enabling or disabling communication with other entities on a network. The protocol, which was first standardized in Section 10 of RFC 3921, can be used to block communication with unknown or undesirable entities. Blocking can be based on Jabber Identifier, subscription state, or roster group. The blocked stanzas can be messages, IQs, inbound or outbound presence stanzas, or all stanzas. The protocol also enables an entity to create, modify, or delete its privacy lists, apply different lists to different connected resources, define a default list, and decline the use of any privacy list during a particular communications session. 0018Invisible PresenceInformationalRejected2003-09-26N/ADocumentation of invisible presence. 0020Feature NegotiationStandards TrackDraft2006-11-21feature-negThis specification defines an XMPP protocol extension that enables two entities to mutually negotiate feature options, such as parameters related to a file transfer or a communications session. 0021Jabber Event Notification Service (ENS)Standards TrackRetracted2003-04-22NoneA generic publish-and-subscribe service for Jabber. 0022Message EventsHistoricalObsolete2009-05-27x-eventThis document defines an XMPP protocol extension used to request and respond to events relating to the delivery, display, and composition of messages.

The protocol can be used in the context of any XMPP protocol that might send large result sets (such as service discovery, multi-user chat, and publish-subscribe). While the requesting entity in such an interaction can explicitly request the use of result set management, an indication that result set management is in use can also be proactively included by the responding entity when returning a limited result set in response to a query. 0060Publish-SubscribeStandards TrackDraft2010-07-12pubsubThis specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for generic publish-subscribe functionality. The protocol enables XMPP entities to create nodes (topics) at a pubsub service and publish information at those nodes; an event notification (with or without payload) is then broadcasted to all entities that have subscribed to the node. Pubsub therefore adheres to the classic Observer design pattern and can serve as the foundation for a wide variety of applications, including news feeds, content syndication, rich presence, geolocation, workflow systems, network management systems, and any other application that requires event notifications. 0061Shared NotesInformationalDeferred2003-09-30Not yet assignedA simplistic mechanism for shared notes, modeled after common stickie note applications. 0062Packet FilteringInformationalDeferred2003-09-30Not yet assignedA framework for packet filtering rules. 0063Basic Filtering OperationsInformationalDeferred2003-09-30Not yet assignedA module that provides basic conditions and actions for packet filtering. 0064XPath FilteringInformationalDeferred2003-09-30Not yet assignedA module that provides an XPath matching condition for packet filtering. 0065SOCKS5 BytestreamsStandards TrackDraft2011-04-20bytestreamsThis document defines an XMPP protocol extension for establishing an out-of-band bytestream between any two XMPP users, mainly for the purpose of file transfer. The bytestream can be either direct (peer-to-peer) or mediated (though a special-purpose proxy server). The typical transport protocol used is TCP, although UDP can optionally be supported as well. 0066Out of Band DataStandards TrackDraft2006-08-16oobThis specification defines two XMPP protocol extensions for communicating URIs, one for use in XMPP message stanzas and the other for use in a structured request-response interaction via XMPP IQ stanzas. Among other things, this enables one entity to inform another entity about a file that is available at an HTTP URL. 0068Field Standardization for Data FormsInformationalActive2011-10-18formtypesThis document specifies how to standardize field variables used in the context of jabber:x:data forms. 0070Verifying HTTP Requests via XMPPStandards TrackDraft2005-12-14http-authThis specification defines an XMPP protocol extension that enables verification of an HTTP request via XMPP. 0071XHTML-IMStandards TrackDraft2008-09-03xhtml-imThis specification defines an XHTML 1.0 Integration Set for use in exchanging instant messages that contain lightweight text markup. The protocol enables an XMPP entity to format a message using a small range of commonly-used HTML elements, attributes, and style properties that are suitable for use in instant messaging. The protocol also excludes HTML constructs that may introduce malware and other vulnerabilities (such as scripts and objects) for improved security. 0072SOAP Over XMPPStandards TrackDraft2005-12-14soapThis specification defines methods for transporting SOAP messages over XMPP. Although the protocol supports only the request-response message exchange pattern, the protocol is formally defined as a SOAP Protocol Binding in accordance with version 1.2 of the W3C SOAP specification. In addition, a WSDL definition is defined for the purpose of advertising the availability of this protocol binding. 0073Basic IM Protocol SuiteStandards TrackObsolete2007-10-30N/AThis document defines a recommended suite of Jabber/XMPP protocols to be supported by basic instant messaging and presence applications. Note: This protocol suite has been obsoleted by XEP-0211 and XEP-0212. 0074Simple Access ControlStandards TrackRetracted2003-10-20sacA simple protocol for querying information for permissions. 0075Jabber Object Access Protocol (JOAP)Standards TrackDeferred2003-05-22N/AThe Jabber Object Access Protocol, or JOAP, defines a mechanism for creating Jabber-accessible object servers, and manipulating objects provided by those servers. It is intended for development of business applications with Jabber. 0076Malicious StanzasHumorousActive2003-04-01evilThis document defines an XMPP protocol extension for flagging malicious stanzas. 0077In-Band RegistrationStandards TrackFinal2012-01-25iq-registerThis specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for in-band registration with XMPP-based instant messaging servers and other services hosted on an XMPP network (such as groupchat rooms and gateways to non-XMPP IM services). The protocol is extensible via use of data forms, thus enabling services to gather a wide range of information during the registration process. The protocol also supports in-band password changes and cancellation of an existing registration. 0078Non-SASL AuthenticationStandards TrackObsolete2008-10-29iq-authThis document specifies a protocol for authentication with Jabber servers and services using the jabber:iq:auth namespace. Note Well: The protocol specified herein has been superseded in favor of SASL authentication as specified in RFC 3920 / RFC 6120, and is now obsolete. 0079Advanced Message ProcessingStandards TrackDraft2005-11-30ampThis specification defines an XMPP protocol extension that enables entities to request, and servers to perform, advanced processing of XMPP message stanzas, including reliable data transport, time-sensitive delivery, and expiration of transient messages. 0080User LocationStandards TrackDraft2009-09-15geolocThis specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for communicating information about the current geographical or physical location of an entity. 0081Jabber MIME TypeStandards TrackRetracted2005-07-19mimetypeThis document specifies a MIME type for launching a Jabber client as a helper application from most modern web browsers, and for completing basic use cases once the client is launched. 0082XMPP Date and Time ProfilesInformationalActive2003-05-28N/AThis document specifies a standardization of ISO 8601 profiles and their lexical representation for use in XMPP protocol extensions. 0083Nested Roster GroupsInformationalActive2004-10-11nestedgroupsThis document defines an XMPP protocol extension that enables nested sub-groups to exist within the Jabber roster, while retaining backwards compatibility and ensuring that the roster remains usable by all clients. 0084User AvatarStandards TrackDraft2008-11-05avatarThis document defines an XMPP protocol extension for exchanging user avatars, which are small images or icons associated with human users. The protocol specifies payload formats for both avatar metadata and the image data itself. The payload formats are typically transported using the personal eventing profile of XMPP publish-subscribe as specified in XEP-0163. 0085Chat State NotificationsStandards TrackFinal2009-09-23chatstatesThis document defines an XMPP protocol extension for communicating the status of a user in a chat session, thus indicating whether a chat partner is actively engaged in the chat, composing a message, temporarily paused, inactive, or gone. The protocol can be used in the context of a one-to-one chat session or a multi-user chat room. 0002Special Interest Groups (SIGs)ProceduralActive2002-01-11NOT YET ASSIGNEDA definition of Special Interest Groups within the XMPP Standards Foundation. 0005Jabber Interest GroupsInformationalObsolete2002-05-08NOT YET ASSIGNEDThis is the official list and summary information of the Jabber Interest Groups. 0006ProfilesSIG FormationObsolete2002-05-08NOT YET ASSIGNEDA proposal for a more powerful and extensible protocol for the management of personal information within Jabber. 0007Conferencing SIGSIG ProposalObsolete2002-05-08NOT YET ASSIGNEDA proposal for a Jabber Interest Group that will discuss the protocol for implementing many-to-many communications. 0010Whiteboarding SIGSIG FormationObsolete2002-05-08NOT YET ASSIGNEDA proposal to form a SIG to develop a protocol for whiteboarding over Jabber. 0014Message ToneStandards TrackRejected2002-01-16NOT YET ASSIGNEDA proposal for including the sender's tone in messages. 0015Account TransferStandards TrackRejected2002-04-18NOT YET ASSIGNEDA proposal for enabling the ability to transfer an account from one Jabber server to another. 0017Naive Packet Framing ProtocolInformationalRejected2002-02-19NOT YET ASSIGNEDAn intermediate method for more efficient framing of the Jabber XML Stream. 0019Streamlining the SIGsProceduralActive2002-03-20NOT YET ASSIGNEDThis document proposes to streamline the existing Special Interest Groups (SIGs). 0031A Framework For Securing Jabber ConversationsStandards TrackDeferred2002-07-09NOT YET ASSIGNED Although the value and utility of contemporary instant messaging systems, like Jabber, are now indisputable, current security features to protect message data are generally inadequate for many deployments; this is particularly true in security conscious environments like large, commercial enterprises and government agencies. These current features suffer from issues of scalability, usability, and supported features. Furthermore, there is a lack of standardization. We present a protocol to allow communities of Jabber users to apply cryptographic protection to selected conversation data. 0032Jabber URI SchemeStandards TrackRetracted2003-09-02NOT YET ASSIGNEDA URI scheme for Jabber communications. 0037DSPS - Data Stream Proxy ServiceStandards TrackRejected2002-09-18NOT YET ASSIGNEDA proposal for proxy support in Jabber. 0039Statistics GatheringStandards TrackDeferred2002-11-05NOT YET ASSIGNEDA protocol to enable gathering statistics from Jabber servers and components. 0043Jabber Database AccessStandards TrackRetracted2003-10-20NOT YET ASSIGNEDExpose RDBM systems directly to the jabber network 0044Full Namespace Support for XML StreamsStandards TrackDeferred2002-08-26NOT YET ASSIGNEDA description of the use of namespaces within Jabber. 0051Connection TransferStandards TrackDeferred2009-07-07NOT YET ASSIGNEDThis specification defines an XMPP protocol extension that enables a server to redirect connections from one connection manager or server node to another. 0056Business Data InterchangeStandards TrackDeferred2002-11-18NOT YET ASSIGNEDThis document defines a way to transmit ebXML messages, ANSI X.11, EDIFACT/UN, and SAP iDoc over Jabber/XMPP. 0058Multi-User Text EditingStandards TrackDeferred2002-11-12NOT YET ASSIGNEDThis document defines how several people may simultaneously edit text. 0067Stock Data TransmissionStandards TrackDeferred2003-07-19NOT YET ASSIGNEDThis document specifies a data format for stock data distribution in the Jabber community. 0069Compliance SIGSIG FormationDeferred2003-01-29NOT YET ASSIGNEDA proposal to form a SIG devoted to issues related to protocol compliance. 0086Error Condition MappingsInformationalDeprecated2004-02-17N/AA mapping to enable legacy entities to correctly handle errors from XMPP-aware entities. 0087Stream InitiationStandards TrackRetracted2003-05-22siA common method to initiate a stream with meta information 0088Client WebtabsInformationalDeferred2004-03-14webtabA protocol for displaying web-based tabs in clients. 0089Generic AlertsStandards TrackDeferred2003-05-16Not yet assignedA protocol for generic alerts (similar to .NET Alerts service). 0090Legacy Entity TimeHistoricalObsolete2009-05-27iq-timeThis specification provides historical documentation of the legacy jabber:iq:time namespace, which has been deprecated in favor the urn:xmpp:time namespace defined in XEP-0202. 0091Legacy Delayed DeliveryHistoricalObsolete2009-05-27x-delayThis specification provides historical documentation of the legacy jabber:x:delay namespace, which has been deprecated in favor the urn:xmpp:delay namespace defined in XEP-0203. 0092Software VersionStandards TrackDraft2007-02-15iq-versionThis specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for retrieving information about the software application associated with an XMPP entity.
