Message format in JSON instead of XML

[Slavey Karadzhov]

Mainly because the overhead is less compared to XML. And there are 
situations where the traffic is costing a lot(like from a mobile phone 
Jabber client).

A long time ago I created a web Multi Instant Messenger client and IM 
Proxy server (http://laffer.sf.net). The project was more or less proof 
of concept and didn't develop beyond that. The IM Proxy server that I've 
wrote is not able to handle many connections so I am looking for the 
following opportunities:
  1. Find another open source project that I can modify and use as IM 
Proxy.
  2. OR Use the existing code base of the IM Proxy but rewrote it to 
work with, Danga::Socket for example.

If the DJabberd is ultimately extensible/plugable/you-name-it than may 
be I can modify it to send messages in JSON format. This way  it will be 
easier for me to rewrite the existing pieces of code and create a web 
instant messenger that can directly call the DJabberd.

One more question, not related to the above - is there a code that takes 
care for the connection to remote IM networks like AIM, MSN, Yahoo?

Regards,
  Slaff
