NAME

Net::XMPP2::Ext - Extension baseclass and documentation

DESCRIPTION

This module has documentation about the supported extensions and also is a base class for all extensions that can be added via the add_extension method of the classes that derive from Net::XMPP2::Extendable. (That are: Net::XMPP2::Client, Net::XMPP2::Connection and Net::XMPP2::IM::Connection)

Basically add_extension makes the extension an event receiver for all events that the extended object receives.

Supportet extensions

This is the list of supported XMPP extensions:

XEP-0004 - Data Forms

This extension handles data forms as described in XEP-0004. Net::XMPP2::Ext::DataForm allows you to construct, receive and answer data forms. This is neccessary for all sorts of things in XMPP. For example XEP-0055 (Jabber Search) or also In-band registration.

XEP-0086 - Error Condition Mappings

"A mapping to enable legacy entities to correctly handle errors from XMPP-aware entities."

This extension will enable sending of the old error codes when generating a stanza error with for example the write_error_tag method of Net::XMPP2::Writer.

XEP-0030 - Service Discovery

This extension allows you to send service discovery requests and define a set of discoverable information. See also Net::XMPP2::Ext::Disco.

XEP-0077 - In-Band Registration

This extension lets you register new accounts "in-band". To use this look at the description of the register option to the new method of Net::XMPP2::Connection.

XEP-0114 - Jabber Component Protocol

This extension allows you to connect to a server as a component and makes it possible to implement services like pubsub, muc, or whatever you can imagine (even gateways). See documentation of Net::XMPP2::Component and the example samples/simple_component.
