# Get presence updates from your friends, and print them out to the console:
# (admittedly, this one needs some work)
im.presence_updates { |update|

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!
