Introduction


The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is a widely implemented open protocol for passing XML messages. It was initially created as an instant messaging platform, but it has since been used by TiVo for communication between their set-top devices and their online scheduler, implemented by Google as Google Talk (since replaced by the non-XMPP Hangouts) and as an interface for Facebook's chat.

In this chapter, we'll learn to set up the ejabberd IM platform for use as your own IM service. We'll leverage XMPP's server-to-server federation to be able to exchange messages with other public XMPP systems and secure the traffic with TLS.
