In the world of real-time communication, two prominent protocols often come into discussion: XMPP and Matrix. Both protocols aim to provide robust and secure messaging solutions, but they differ in architecture, features, and community adoption. This article delves into the key differences and similarities between XMPP and Matrix to help you understand which might be
That’s a quite balanced comparison.
Using Matrix clients with XMPP could be interesting, if Ejabberd adds the Matrix client API.
The recently added Matrix bridge in Ejabberd still needs a lot of work though before it is usable.
The benifits of open protocols is that there’s an infinite possibilities of interoperability. In like 5 years time all of this should be solid as a rock. Kudos to the developers.
It would be great to have servers that support both protocols, i prefer XMPP because of speed but some say matrix is safer.
If they mean “safer” as in e2ee, that is false. The opposite is actually true.
