Description

Jabber::Simple is intended to make Jabber client programming dead simple. XMPP, the Jabber protocol, is extremely powerful but also carries a steep learning curve. This library exposes only the most common tasks, and does so in a way that is familiar to users of traditional instant messenger clients.

Known Issues

None. If you’d like additional functionality, please contact the developer!
