Download

• For better experience download latest stable tarball from google code
• The development version of Jaxl is hosted here at Github, have fun cloning the source code with Git

Warning: The development source code at Github is only intended for people that want to develop Jaxl or absolutely need the latest features still not available on the stable releases.

Writing XMPP apps using JAXL library

• Download and extract inside /path/to/jaxl
• Jaxl library provide an event based mechanism exposing hooks like jaxl_post_auth
• Register callback(s) inside your app code for required events (see example below)
• Write your app logic inside callback'd methods

Here is how a simple send chat message app looks like using Jaxl library:

// Include and initialize Jaxl core
require_once '/path/to/jaxl/core/jaxl.class.php';
$jaxl = new JAXL(array(
    'user'=>'username',
    'pass'=>'password',
    'host'=>'talk.google.com',
    'domain'=>'gmail.com',
    'authType'=>'PLAIN',
    'logLevel'=>5
));

// Send message after successful authentication
function postAuth($payload, $jaxl) {
    global $argv;
    $jaxl->sendMessage($argv[1], $argv[2]);
    $jaxl->shutdown();
}

// Register callback on required hook (callback'd method will always receive 2 params)
$jaxl->addPlugin('jaxl_post_auth', 'postAuth');

// Start Jaxl core
$jaxl->startCore('stream');

Run from command line:

php sendMessage.php "[email protected]" "This is a test message"
