Wokkel

Wokkel is collection of enhancements on top of the ​Twisted networking framework, written in Python. It mostly provides a testing ground for enhancements to the Jabber/XMPP protocol implementation as found in Twisted Words, that are meant to eventually move there.

Currently, Wokkel provides the following enhancements on top of Twisted Words:

• A mechanism for easier implementation of ​XMPP Enhancement Protocols (XEPs) as so-called subprotocols.
• XMPP Client and server-side component support, that eases development and supports subprotocols.
• XMPP Server support. Note that this does not yet include support for handling client connections.
• Subprotocol implementations for:
  • Generic presence, roster and message handling.
  • Service Discovery (​XEP-0030), service side.
  • Publish-Subscribe (​XEP-0060), client and service side.
  • Software Version (​XEP-0092), service side.
• Data format implementations for:
  • Data Forms (​XEP-0004)
  • User Tune (​XEP-0118)
  • User Mood (​XEP-0107)
