Pure Crystal XMPP Shard, focusing on simplicity, simple automation, and IoT.
The goal is to make simple to write simple XMPP clients and components. It features:
- Fully OOP
- Aims at being XMPP compliant
- Event Based
- Easy to extend
- For automation (like for example monitoring of an XMPP service),
- For building connected "things" by plugging them on an XMPP server,
- For writing simple chatbot to control a service or a thing,
- For writing XMPP servers components.
You can basically do everything you want with cr-xmpp
. It fully supports XMPP Client and components specification, and also a wide range of extensions (XEPs). And it's very easy to extend :)
This Shard does not have any other dependencies.

XMPP stanzas are basic and extensible XML elements. Stanzas (or sometimes special stanzas called 'nonzas') are used to leverage the XMPP protocol features. During a session, a client (or a component) and a server will be exchanging stanzas back and forth.
At a low-level, stanzas are XML fragments. However, this shard provides the building blocks to interact with stanzas at a high-level, providing a Crystal-friendly API.
The XMPP::Stanza
module provides support for XMPP stream parsing, encoding and decoding of XMPP stanza. It is a
bridge between high-level Crystal classes and low-level XMPP protocol.
Parsing, encoding and decoding is automatically handled by Crystal XMPP client shard. As a developer, you will
generally manipulates only the high-level classes provided by the XMPP::Stanza
module.
The XMPP protocol, as the name implies is extensible. If your application is using custom stanza extensions, you can implement your own extensions directly.
Below example show how to implement a custom extension for your own client, without having to modify or fork Crystal XMPP shard.
class CustomExtension < Extension
include IQPayload
class_getter xml_name : XMLName = XMLName.new("my:custom:payload query")
property node : String = ""
def self.new(node : XML::Node)
raise "Invalid node(#{node.name}, expecting #{@@xml_name.to_s}" unless (node.namespace.try &.href == @@xml_name.space) &&
(node.name == @@xml_name.local)
cls = new()
node.children.select(&.element?).each do |child|
case child.name
when "item" then cls.node = child.content
end
end
cls
end
def to_xml(elem : XML::Builder)
elem.element(@@xml_name.local, xmlns: @@xml_name.space) do
elem.element("node") { elem.text node } unless node.blank?
end
end
def namespace : String
@@xml_name.space
end
def name : String
@@xml_name.local
end
end
Registry.map_extension(PacketType::IQ, XMLName.new("my:custom:payload", "query"), CustomExtension)
