.SH "NAME"
Net::Jabber \- Jabber Perl Library
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 2
\&  Net::Jabber provides a Perl user with access to the Jabber Instant
\&  Messaging protocol.
\&
\&  For more information about Jabber visit:
\&
\&    http://www.jabber.org
.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
.Vb 6
\&  Net::Jabber is a convenient tool to use for any perl script that would
\&  like to utilize the Jabber Instant Messaging protocol.  While not a
\&  client in and of itself, it provides all of the necessary back\-end
\&  functions to make a CGI client or command\-line perl client feasible and
\&  easy to use.  Net::Jabber is a wrapper around the rest of the official
\&  Net::Jabber::xxxxxx packages.
\&
\&  There is are example scripts in the example directory that provide you
\&  with examples of very simple Jabber programs.
\&
\&
\&  NOTE: The parser that XML::Stream::Parser provides, as are most Perl
\&  parsers, is synchronous.  If you are in the middle of parsing a packet
\&  and call a user defined callback, the Parser is blocked until your
\&  callback finishes.  This means you cannot be operating on a packet,
\&  send out another packet and wait for a response to that packet.  It
\&  will never get to you.  Threading might solve this, but as of the
\&  writing of this, threading in Perl is not quite up to par yet.  This
\&  issue will be revisted in the future.
.Ve
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
.Vb 3
\&    For a client:
\&      use Net::Jabber;
\&      my $client = new Net::Jabber::Client();
\&
\&    For a component:
\&      use Net::Jabber;
\&      my $component = new Net::Jabber::Component();
.Ve
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
.Vb 6
\&  The Net::Jabber module does not define any methods that you will call
\&  directly in your code.  Instead you will instantiate objects that call
\&  functions from this module to do work.  The three main objects that
\&  you will work with are the Message, Presence, and IQ modules.  Each one
\&  corresponds to the Jabber equivalent and allows you get and set all
\&  parts of those packets.

.Vb 2
\&  For more information on each of these packages, please see the man page
\&  for each one.
.Ve
.SS "Net::Jabber::Client"
.IX Subsection "Net::Jabber::Client"
.Vb 4
\&  This package contains the code needed to communicate with a Jabber
\&  server: login, wait for messages, send messages, and logout.  It uses
\&  XML::Stream to read the stream from the server and based on what kind
\&  of tag it encounters it calls a function to handle the tag.
.Ve
.SS "Net::Jabber::Component"
.IX Subsection "Net::Jabber::Component"
.Vb 7
\&  This package contains the code needed to write a server component.  A
\&  component is a program tha handles the communication between a jabber
\&  server and some outside program or communications package (IRC, talk,
\&  email, etc...)  With this module you can write a full component in just
\&  a few lines of Perl.  It uses XML::Stream to communicate with its host
\&  server and based on what kind of tag it encounters it calls a function
\&  to handle the tag.
.Ve
.SS "Net::Jabber::Protocol"
.IX Subsection "Net::Jabber::Protocol"
.Vb 2
\&  A collection of high\-level functions that Client and Component use to
\&  make their lives easier through inheritance.
.Ve
.SS "Net::Jabber::JID"
.IX Subsection "Net::Jabber::JID"
.Vb 3
\&  The Jabber IDs consist of three parts: user id, server, and resource.
\&  This module gives you access to those components without having to
\&  parse the string yourself.
.Ve
.SS "Net::Jabber::Message"
.IX Subsection "Net::Jabber::Message"
.Vb 2
\&  Everything needed to create and read a <message/> received from the
\&  server.
.Ve
.SS "Net::Jabber::Presence"
.IX Subsection "Net::Jabber::Presence"
.Vb 2
\&  Everything needed to create and read a <presence/> received from the
\&  server.
.Ve
.SS "Net::Jabber::IQ"
.IX Subsection "Net::Jabber::IQ"
.Vb 2
\&  IQ is a wrapper around a number of modules that provide support for the
\&  various Info/Query namespaces that Jabber recognizes.
.Ve
.SS "Net::Jabber::Stanza"
.IX Subsection "Net::Jabber::Stanza"
.Vb 3
\&  This module represents a namespaced stanza that is used to extend a
\&  <message/>, <presence/>, and <iq/>.  Ultimately each namespace is
\&  documented in a JEP of some kind.  http://jabber.org/jeps/
\&
\&  The man page for Net::Jabber::Stanza contains a listing of all
\&  supported namespaces, and the methods that are supported by the objects
\&  that represent those namespaces.
.Ve
.SS "Net::Jabber::Namespaces"
.IX Subsection "Net::Jabber::Namespaces"
.Vb 5
\&  Jabber allows for any stanza to be extended by any bit of XML.  This
\&  module contains all of the internals for defining the Jabber based
\&  extensions defined by the JEPs.  The documentation for this module
\&  explains more about how to add your own custom namespace and have it be
\&  supported.
