# XMPP

[XMPP](https://xmpp.org/) is an open chat protocols that has been around for [more than 25 years](https://slashdot.org/story/99/01/04/1621211/open-real-time-messaging-system). It has been "stolen" by many (e.g. whatsapp still shamelessly use the "jid") but is still going strong today.

 ![xmpp](https://discuss.88.io/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9ab84cd70a0d5162bc65a5736a95b8c9da3f2d7e.png)

XMPP was used by many Cloud providers (Google, Facebook etc.) to develop their own proprietary chat services. Unfortunately after using XMPP as a quick start to suck in their user base almost zero of them contributed back, in fact most went opposite to its philosophy and cut off XMPP support to lock their user base in.

## 1. Compared with Other Protocols

Although much older, XMPP has been constantly evolving and remains superior to newer federated messaging protocols like [Matrix](https://matrix.org/) (e.g. used by [Element](https://element.io/)) and [Activitypub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub) (e.g. used by [Mastodon](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/)) for realtime chatting between humans.

Team Compute can make use of ANY chat protocol, but XMPP has been selected as the default instead of Matrix because:

1. Matrix has only one stable server (e.g. [Synapse](https://matrix.org/ecosystem/servers/)) while XMPP has many stable servers (e.g. [ejabberd, prosody, openfire etc.](https://xmpp.org/software/?platform=all-platforms)).
2. Matrix was designed for [synchronisation](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/#architecture) while XMPP has been designed for [messaging](https://xmpp.org/about/technology-overview/).

XMPP to Matrix bridges (e.g. [Matridge](https://codeberg.org/slidge/matridge) and [Matrix-bifrost](https://ems-docs.element.io/books/element-support/page/using-the-matrix-xmpp-bridge-as-an-end-user)) are available for bridging between XMPP and Matrix.

## 2. End-to-End Encryption

XMPP mostly use one of two end-to-end encryption schemes, [OMEMO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMEMO) and [OTR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-the-record_messaging).

Some good discussion of both is available here:

- [OTR versus OMEMO - #7 by 0x1f - Development - Whonix Forum](https://forums.whonix.org/t/otr-versus-omemo/14063/7)
- [An odyssey of encryption in XMPP](https://another.im/news/an-odyssey-of-encryption-in-xmpp.html)
- [Tech Pages/XMPP E2E Security - XMPP WIKI](https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/XMPP_E2E_Security)

There has been at least one [third-party audit](https://conversations.im/omemo/audit.pdf) of OMEMO, but both are better than FAKE end-to-end encryption apps (e.g. Whatsapp) that runs your message server AND gives you a closed source client.

Increasing number of XMMP client now supports the [OMEMO](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0384.html#intro-motivation) end-to-end encryption standard:

> **[Are we OMEMO yet?](https://omemo.top/)**
>
> Tracking the progress of OMEMO integration in XMPP clients.

WARNING: Just because an XMPP client supports OMEMO does not mean that the attachments (the files uploaded) are also encrypted. For example, as of 2025-07-01, Movim does NOT encrypt the uploaded files while Converse DOES. Please check the XMPP client you are using.

## 3. Multi-User Chat

XMPP's Multi-User Chat (MUC) is not federated, which can be a problem in certain applications.

MUC federation standard has been proposed, but have no been taken up by the XMPP community at this stage.

> **[XEP-0289: Federated MUC for Constrained Environments](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0289.html)**
>
> This document provides a protocol for federating MUC rooms together in order to reduce the effects of constrained network (e.g. unreliability, severely limited bandwidth) on the room occupants.

# XMPP Web Clients

Web browser based XMPP clients can be used without software installation on your device:

1. [movim](https://movim.eu/) xmpp client (this is the default)
2. [converse.js](https://conversejs.org/) xmpp client (has [plugins](https://github.com/conversejs/community-plugins)).

All support end-to-end encryption using OMEMO (although might not cover all information exchanges e.g. encrypted text chat but not file sharing).

Some other interesting XMPP Web Clients (no tested yet):

1. [https://libervia.org](https://libervia.org)
2. [https://moxxy.org](https://moxxy.org)

Below we are comparing those 2 web clients with each other and with another popular but less active web client called [jsxc](https://www.jsxc.org/) which is available as an option inside Data Nodes under the Nextcloud module.

### Better Privacy

You should:

1. Turn OFF sending data to Apple Maps
2. Stop "previews of web sites" so you visit an URL only when you click on it.

### Call Limitation

The missing call button in Monal for macOS is due to a temporary limitation in the Mac version's user interface.

While the iOS version utilizes Apple's CallKit framework to seamlessly handle VoIP and audio/video calls, the macOS application interface is still catching up. The developers have been incrementally rewriting the codebase to achieve full feature parity across platforms. Audio and video calling capabilities are built into Monal's core standard compliance, but the actual UI call button functionality on Mac is historically delayed or dependent on upcoming interface overhauls.

# XMPP Roster

## 1. Table

ejabberd sql table:

- [SQL Schema - ejabberd Docs](https://docs.ejabberd.im/developer/sql-schema/#rosters)

CREATE TABLE rosterusers (
    username text NOT NULL,
    jid text NOT NULL,
    nick text NOT NULL,
    subscription character(1) NOT NULL,
    ask character(1) NOT NULL,
    askmessage text NOT NULL,
    server character(1) NOT NULL,
    subscribe text,
    "type" text
);

```

## 2. Subscription

> **[XEP-0162: Best Practices for Roster and Subscription Management](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0162.html)**

'B'=both | 'T'=To | 'F'=From | 'N'=none

2. "ask" value should be  
'S'=subscribe | 'U'=unsubscribe | B='both' | 'O'=out | 'I'=in | 'N'=none
