I am creating a website on google app engine and I want to allow users to chat with each other just like gmail.I have read that there are 2 options - xmpp and channel api.
Now I want to know,can the xmpp sever on gae talk to javascript clients and push messages to browser's javascript just like channel api.everyhere I see that xmpp on gae can talk to xmpp clients,but I did not find info on talking to javascript clients.I would prefer to use xmpp as it gives more features.
If you want to use XMPP to talk to Javascript clients, you could use Strophe.js -- however you'll need an XMPP account of some sort for the client to sign into.
