| 7 | 8 | Adrian Georgescu | == Requirements == |
| 8 | 1 | ||
| 9 | 1 | * Written in Python (C/C++ could also be used, but a wrapper would need to be written) |
|
| 10 | 7 | Adrian Georgescu | * Support for XMPP server and/or component |
| 11 | 1 | * Ability to use it with the current model used by SylkServer |
|
| 12 | 1 | * Green threads |
|
| 13 | 1 | * Callback based IO |
|

| 15 | 14 | Adrian Georgescu | == Software Libraries Evaluation == |
| 16 | 1 | ||
| 17 | 7 | Adrian Georgescu | The following aspects were considered when evaluating a given library: |
| 18 | 1 | ||
| 19 | 1 | * Met requirements stated above |
|
| 20 | 1 | * Is it actively maintained? |
|
| 21 | 1 | * Example use cases |
|
| 22 | 1 | * Deployments in real-world scenarios |
|
| 23 | 1 | * Perceived complexity to integrate it with SylkServer architecture |

| 27 | 14 | Adrian Georgescu | == Selected XMPP library == |
| 28 | 9 | Adrian Georgescu | |
| 29 | 14 | Adrian Georgescu | After analyzing candidate libraries '''Wokkel''' was the chosen one for the following reasons: |
| 30 | 2 | ||
| 31 | 14 | Adrian Georgescu | * Implemented on top of Twisted, which makes integration with SylkServer straightforward |
| 32 | 14 | Adrian Georgescu | * Support for both component and XMPP server models, allowing for flexibility in implementation |
