# Wildfire Protocol Support

A major goal of the Wildfire project is to provide full support for the XMPP specifications defined by RFC 3920 and RFC 3921. In addition to full XMPP support, Wildfire also provides support for numerous extensions to XMPP that are defined through the JEP process at Jabber.org. This document provides a summary of that protocol support and is updated for every Wildfire release.

This document is broken down into the following sections:

- Basic IM Protocol Suite Support
- Intermediate IM Protocol Suite Support
- List of JEPs Supported
- Notes on RFC 3920: XMPP Core
- Notes on RFC 3921: XMPP IM
- Footnotes
