XMPP Glossary
Posted by Nicolas Vérité on September 16, 2011Roster, JID, full JID or bare JID, BOSH, caps, component, C2S and S2S, MUC, federation, dialback, PubSub, service discovery, resource, priority, transport, stanza, IQ, spim, ICE/STUN/TURN, presence, Jingle, and... Jabber. Maybe most of all these terms mean something to you. But some may not have a meaning in the XMPP context, or some just do not mean anything.
We have put up a small glossary for you. It is in our wiki. Please check it out here:
