About QXmpp
===========

QXmpp is a cross-platform C++ XMPP client and server library. It is written
in C++ and uses Qt framework.

QXmpp strives to be as easy to use as possible, the underlying TCP socket,
the core XMPP RFCs (RFC3920 and RFC3921) and XMPP extensions have been
nicely encapsulated into classes. QXmpp comes with full API
documentation, automatic tests and many examples.

QXmpp uses Qt extensively, and as such users need to a have working knowledge
of C++ and Qt basics (Signals and Slots and Qt data types).

Qt is the only third party library which is required to build QXmpp, but
libraries such as speex and theora enable additional features.

QXmpp is released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License,
version 2.1 or later.

    WITH_OPUS                     to enable opus audio codec (default: false)
    WITH_SPEEX                    to enable speex audio codec (default: false)
    WITH_THEORA                   to enable theora video codec (default: false)
    WITH_VPX                      to enable vpx video codec (default: false)

Examples
========

Look at the example directory for various examples. Here is a description of
a few.

* *example_0_connected*
This example just connects to the xmpp server and start receiving presences
(updates) from the server. After running this example, you can see this user
online, if it's added in your roster (friends list).

* *example_1_echoClient*
This is a very simple bot which echoes the message sent to it. Run this
example, send it a message from a friend of this bot and you will
receive the message back. This example shows how to receive and send messages.
