I'm trying to create a multiplatform chat app, that works for ios, android, blackberry, and web client, so I read that i need a xmpp server and there are many, so i want to hear some opinions wich one should i pick and why, i dont know anything about xmpp servers or things like that
I use prosody -- <a href="http://prosody.im/" rel="nofollow">http://prosody.im/</a><p>It's one of the most recent and feature filled XMPP servers out there. It's also relatively easy to setup and maintain.
I've had pretty good luck setting up openfire which is a java based server. It was fairly easy to configure as I remember and this was on a system I did not have root on and I'm not much of a java guy.<p>On the other hand we didn't end up using the server very heavily so it wasn't thoroughly tested.
