Strophe.js is a dependency-free JavaScript/TypeScript library for building real-time XMPP applications, supporting XMPP over WebSockets (RFC 7395) and BOSH/HTTP (XEP-0124/0206). It provides stanza builders, multiple SASL mechanisms, stream management with session resumption, and runs in browsers, Node.js, and React Native.

Use cases

• build a browser-based XMPP chat client
• connect to an XMPP server over WebSockets from JavaScript
• add real-time messaging to a web app
• resume XMPP sessions after dropped connections with stream management
• share a single XMPP connection across browser tabs
• authenticate to XMPP with SCRAM or other SASL mechanisms
• build a React Native chat app over XMPP

When to choose

• you need XMPP support in JavaScript across browser, Node.js, or React Native
• you want a small, dependency-free client library with WebSocket and BOSH transports
• you need robust reconnection via XEP-0198 stream management
• you want modern TypeScript typings with ESM/CJS/UMD builds

When to avoid

• your app does not use the XMPP protocol
• you need a full chat UI rather than a protocol library
• you require non-JavaScript environments or native mobile SDKs
