wodXMPP

The wodXMPP software is an instant messaging and presence protocol that allows you to communicate with your contacts online. It enables you to send and receive messages, notifications, and more. There are two variations of wodXMPP: the COM Object which is invisible and should be used "under the hood" in your applications, and the OCX Control which has a GUI that shows your contacts on the screen. The wodXMPP component is responsible for you as an entity on the Jabber network. You can find methods here to connect and disconnect, set your JID, password, and more.

Your contacts are called 'Contacts' and are provided through XMPPContact objects. This enables you to add them to your contact list and to send authorization requests and messages. Messages are created in separate XMPPMessage objects where you can set up all the details of the messages. There are many objects in the wodXMPP component that parse incoming data to separate standalone entities that you can easily use and manipulate in your code.

Sending and receiving messages on wodXMPP is also easy. You can send a message in just one line using the SendText method. If you need to construct more complicated messages, you can initialize the included XMPPMessage object and supply a few properties. Then, simply call the SendMessage method to deliver it to your contact.

wodXMPP also supports connecting to other instant messaging protocols such as ICQ, MSN, AIM, Yahoo, GTalk, and more if your server provides it. You can feel safe with wodXMPP because no one can see your messages as it uses SSL. Both Explicit and Implicit modes are provided, so you can connect to regular port 5222 and "fire up armor," or you can connect to port 443 to services that have SSL enabled. Overall, the wodXMPP software is a great tool for instant messaging and presence protocols.
