Comparison of XMPP clients
The following is a general comparison of XMPP clients, which are instant messaging designed for decentralized, standarized, extensible, interoperable, federated, network using the XMPP protocol, which are open standard.
The architecture of the XMPP network is similar to email; anyone can run their own XMPP server and there is no central master server. This federated open system approach allows users to interoperate with others on any server using a 'JID' user account, similar to an email address.
