Features
========

* Native `Stream Management (XEP-0198)
  <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0198.html>`_ support for robustness against
  transient network failures (such as switching between wireless and wired
  networks).

* Powerful declarative-style definition of XEP-based and custom protocols. Most
  of the time, you will not get in contact with raw XML or character data, even
  when implementing a new protocol.

* Secure by default: TLS is required by default, as well as certificate
  validation. Certificate or public key pinning can be used, if needed.

* Support for `RFC 6121 (Instant Messaging and Presence)
  <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6121>`_ roster and presence management, along
  with `XEP-0045 (Multi-User Chats)
  <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html>`_ for your human-to-human needs.

* Support for `XEP-0060 (Publish-Subscribe)
  <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html>`_ and `XEP-0050 (Ad-Hoc Commands)
  <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0050.html>`_ for your machine-to-machine
  needs.

* Several other XEPs, such as `XEP-0115
  <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0115.html>`_ (including native support for
  the reading and writing the `capsdb <https://github.com/xnyhps/capsdb>`_) and
  `XEP-0131 <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0131.html>`_.

* APIs suitable for both one-shot scripts and long-running multi-account
  clients.

* Well-tested and modular codebase: aioxmpp is developed in test-driven
  style and in addition to that, many modules are automatedly tested against
  `Prosody <https://prosody.im/>`_ and `ejabberd <https://www.ejabberd.im/>`_,
  two popular XMPP servers.


There is more and there’s yet more to come! Check out the list of supported XEPs
in the `official documentation`_ and `open GitHub issues tagged as enhancement
<https://github.com/horazont/aioxmpp/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aenhancement>`_
