Tigase XMPP Server is a highly optimized, modular XMPP (Jabber) server implemented in Java. It provides core XMPP services for real-time messaging, presence, and federation and is designed for high performance and large-scale deployments.

Key Features

  • Implements core XMPP standards and many XEP extensions including stream management, message archiving, message carbons, MUC, publish-subscribe and HTTP file upload
  • Supports client connections over TCP, BOSH (HTTP long-polling), and WebSockets, plus server-to-server federation and component connections
  • Modular architecture with optional components and connectors for features like MUC, PubSub, STUN, SOCKS5 proxy and database connectors
  • HTTP API and high-performance Jetty-based components for integration and management
  • Push notifications support and tooling for large-scale, low-latency deployments
  • Designed for scalability and optimization with monitoring and management tools available as companion projects

Use Cases

  • Powering real-time chat and presence for consumer or enterprise messaging applications
  • Implementing group chat, pub/sub systems, and message archiving for collaboration platforms
  • Backend for IoT messaging and presence use cases that require XMPP interoperability

Limitations and Considerations

  • Advanced configuration and tuning requires familiarity with XMPP concepts and Java-based deployments; many capabilities are provided via optional components rather than a single monolithic UI

Tigase is suited for operators needing a standards-compliant, extensible XMPP server capable of handling large user bases and custom integrations.
