<p>
Jive Messenger implements the XMPP protocol as well as many extensions to XMPP
through the JEP process at jabber.org. This document provides a summary of that
protocol support and is updated for every Jive Messenger release.
</p>
<h2>Core XMPP Spport</h2>
<p>A major goal of the Jive Messenger project is to provide full support for the
<acronym title="Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol">XMPP</acronym>
specifications defined by <a href="http://www.xmpp.org/specs/rfc3920.html">RFC 3920</a> and
<a href="http://www.xmpp.org/specs/rfc3921.html">RFC 3921</a>. In addition to full
XMPP support, we are also working to provide support for numerous extensions to XMPP
that are defined through the
<acronym title="Jabber Enhancement Proposals">JEP</acronym> process at
<a href="http://www.jabber.org">Jabber.org</a>. This document provides a
summary of that protocol support and is updated for every Jive Messenger
release.</p>
<p>This document is broken down into the following sections:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="#basic">Basic IM Protocol Suite Support</a></li>
<li><a href="#intermediate">Intermediate IM Protocol Suite Support</a></li>

<h2>Notes on RFC 3921: XMPP IM</h2>
The <a href="http://www.jabber.org">Jabber Software Foundation</a> has a standards process
for approving <a href="http://www.jabber.org/jeps/">extensions</a> (JEPs) to the XMPP protocol.
Jive Messenger's support for these JEPs is detailed below. Some JEPs do not require direct
server support and are only implemented by clients; such JEPs are not included in this list.
