42wim/go-xmpp

This is a library that lets Go programmers add XMPP messaging to their applications. XMPP (also known as Jabber) is an open protocol for instant messaging and real-time communication, think of it as the backbone that powers chat systems, presence updates, and message delivery. Instead of building XMPP support from scratch, developers can use this library as a pre-built toolkit. They import it into their Go project and get functions to connect to XMPP servers, send and receive messages, manage contacts, and handle chat state. It handles all the low-level protocol details, the handshakes, encryption, message routing, so the developer can focus on building their app's user experience rather than reinventing the wheel. Who would use this? Anyone building a Go application that needs real-time messaging. That could be a chat application, a notifications system, a game with in-game messaging, or even a bot that needs to communicate over XMPP. For instance, if you're building a company chat tool or integrating with an existing XMPP-based chat system, this library saves you months of work. The project itself is a fork of an original implementation, which means the maintainer has iterated on and improved the initial version. The README is quite minimal, so it doesn't explain the full feature set or provide examples of how to get started. If you're interested in using it, you'd want to look at the code repository itself or any documentation in the project's source files to see what capabilities are available.
