# Xeme

A high level XMPP parsing library based on GObjects.

## About

This project grew out of necessity for [Pidgin 3](https://pidgin.im). We needed

to modernize our XMPP support but we also have Bonjour support which uses the

XMPP standards for sending messages. This meant we needed something reuseable

between the two, and thus Xeme was born.

It's meant to be a standalone library so that others can use it as well. Its

goal is to handle all of the marshaling and unmarshaling for you and give you

high level XMPP stanza objects to work with.

## Name

The name Xeme comes from one of the alternate scientific names of

[Sabine's Gull](https://birdsoftheworld.org/bow/species#larida1:sabgul). As

this project is related to Pidgin, it is only fitting that it got a bird name.

But since it is an XMPP project as well, it need an X. To top everything off,

the name is very close to meme, which get shared via chat networks. This level

of criteria is fitting for an open source project, so we went with it!

## Building

Standard [meson](https://mesonbuild.com) project build:

```sh

meson setup build

meson compile -C build

meson install -C build

```

### Configuration

There are configuration options for a few things, but you'll probably only be

interested in `doc` and `introspection`. Please note that `doc` requires

`introspection`.
