Submitted by badlop on Tue, 2009-05-26 09:55

This table lists the protocols that a Jabber/XMPP server can implement, and which ones are implemented in ejabberd up to the ejabberd 2.1.0 release, or contributions. This list only includes protocols that require explicit implementation in the server side.

It is assumed that protocols are draft or final standards. Otherwise, it is explicitly stated that it's experimental, retracted, deferred, rejected or obsolete.
