Hi folks,
I'm looking for suggestions for XMPP libraries. So far I have found
three on Hackage. Thanks to the authors of these - I think a lot of
good can come from XMPP in Haskell.
However, all of them appear to be minimally maintained, if at all:
- XMPP - only one upload, over 2 years ago. Does not support
TLS (required by many modern servers). Does not support SASL
(also required by many modern servers). After finding the
options on a test server to disable the requirements for TLS and
SASL, it worked.
- network-protocol-XMPP - uploaded recently to fix 7.4 build
issue, not much other recent activity. Refuses to connect to a
test account with "Received empty challenge" (this does not
appear to be an accurate error message, but rather a bug in XML
parsing). A bit more low-level than I'm looking for.
- haskell-xmpp - only one upload, over 1 year ago. Connects and
works. I like the design. Is hard-coded to write debug
messages to stdout, making it a bit of a problem for programs
that use stdout (though a one-liner mod to the code would fix
that). Says it's "alpha" and "work in progress".
What experience do people have with these? Any recommendations?
Thanks,
-- John
