XMPP RFCs
Last Updated: 2008-03-04
The base specifications of the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) formalize the core protocols developed within the Jabber open-source community in 1999. They were produced by the IETF's XMPP Working Group and published as RFCs in October 2004.
Note: Updated versions of RFC 3920 and RFC 3921 are currently being worked on in the IETF -- see the Internet-Drafts page for details.
