I am using ejabberd as server and want to deploy it on a large scale. Can you suggest me the client best suited so that I can plug it in seamlessly. I am thinking of using wokkel or pidgin but not really sure of the best possibility. Any sort of guidance will be appreciated.
Actually my complete requirement is development of a chat engine - including server, clients etc. Currently I am working on things at my desktop only but once done, I have to host it; basically incorporate it with in a site for chatting purpose. So, now my problem is:
I am not clear about how the actual data flow is? I have googled and read about xmpp (a book by Peter Andre) also but I am not clear about the flow and what are the actual requirementsto do the above mentioned task. What I currently know is:
1) I need a server - so selected ejabberd
2) I need client - still not sure which one to use and one other doubt is how this client thing will work when deployed on some website for chatting purpose.
3) Some library - dont know which one and what is the purpose?
2) You can use a web client like Candy Chat (uses Strophe IIRC) http://candy-chat.github.io/candy/
3) Create your own webclient using javascript and the Strophe library which ggozad mentioned.
