                <h3 id="overview">An Overview of XMPP</h3>
                <p>
                    XMPP is the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol, a
                    set of open technologies for instant messaging, presence,
                    multi-party chat, voice and video calls, collaboration,
                    lightweight middleware, content syndication, and generalized
                    routing of XML data.
                </p>
                <p>
                    XMPP was originally developed in the Jabber open-source
                    community to provide an open, decentralized alternative to
                    the closed instant messaging services at that time. XMPP
                    offers several key advantages over such services:
                </p>
                <h4>Open</h4>
                <p>
                    The XMPP protocols are free, open, public, and easily
                    understandable; in addition, multiple implementations exist
                    in the form of clients, servers, server components, and code
                    libraries.
                </p>
                <h4>Standard</h4>
                <p>
                    The <a href="http://ietf.org">Internet Engineering Task
                    Force (IETF)</a> has formalized the core XML streaming
                    protocols as an approved instant messaging and presence
                    technology. The XMPP specifications were published as
                    <a href="https://xmpp.org/rfcs/#3920">RFC 3920</a> and
                    <a href="https://xmpp.org/rfcs/#3921">RFC 3921</a> in 2004,
                    and the XMPP Standards Foundation continues to publish many
                    <a href="https://xmpp.org/extensions/">XMPP Extension
                    Protocols</a>. In 2011 the core RFCs were revised, resulting
                    in the most up-to-date specifications (
                    <a href="https://xmpp.org/rfcs/#6120">RFC 6120</a>,
                    <a href="https://xmpp.org/rfcs/#6121">RFC 6121</a>, and
                    <a href="https://xmpp.org/rfcs/#7622">RFC 7622</a>).
                </p>
                <h4>Proven</h4>
                <p>
                    The first Jabber/XMPP technologies were developed by Jeremie
                    Miller in 1998 and are now quite stable; hundreds of
                    developers are working on these technologies, there are tens
                    of thousands of XMPP servers running on the Internet today,
                    and millions of people use XMPP for instant messaging
                    through various public services and XMPP deployments at
                    organizations worldwide.
                </p>
                <h4>Decentralized</h4>
                <p>
                    The architecture of the XMPP network is similar to email; as
                    a result, anyone can run their own XMPP server, enabling
                    individuals and organizations to take control of their
                    communications experience.
                </p>
                <h4>Secure</h4>
                <p>
                    Any XMPP server may be isolated from the public network
                    (e.g., on a company intranet) and robust security using SASL
                    and TLS has been built into the core
                    <a href="https://xmpp.org/rfcs/">XMPP specifications</a>. In
                    addition, the XMPP developer community is actively working
                    on end-to-end encryption to raise the security bar even
                    further.
                </p>
                <h4>Extensible</h4>
                <p>
                    Using the power of XML, anyone can build custom
                    functionality on top of the core protocols; to maintain
                    interoperability, common extensions are published in the
                    <a href="https://xmpp.org/extensions/">XEP series</a>, but
                    such publication is not required and organizations can
                    maintain their own private extensions if so desired.
                </p>
                <h4>Flexible</h4>
                <p>
                    XMPP applications beyond IM include network management,
                    content syndication, collaboration tools, file sharing,
                    gaming, remote systems monitoring, internet services,
                    lightweight middleware, cloud computing, and much more.
                </p>
                <h4>Diverse</h4>
                <p>
                    A wide range of companies and open-source projects use XMPP
                    to build and deploy real-time applications and services; you
                    will never get “locked in” when you use XMPP technologies.

                <h4 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h4>
                <p>
                    XMPP in general is an open and standardized protocol for
                    real time communication.
                </p>
                <p>
                    Anyone can host their own server and communicate freely with
                    each other, just like with email and just like email the
                    used addresses are of the form “name@domain.tld”.
                </p>
                <p>
                    People can use different apps and services, such as Monal,
                    from a single but also multiple accounts. This serves a
                    decentral and sovereign infrastructure and digital
                    communication on the internet but also offers many potential
                    for innovation.
