I have checked various options for connecting to the MXIT network on Linux since this last post.
After reading blogs, wikis and forums I couldn’t find a solution I liked. It is for this reason that I decided to create my own client.
I will start first with a generic library that implements the MXIT protocol and can be used by other MXIT clients. The reasons for starting with a library first is:
1. There is no library that targets the MXIT protocol.
2. The library can be used in different clients making the process of creating a client a little less difficult.
3. The library can provide a stable API and still accommodate protocol changes.
4. You get my drift.
I will probably do the library in Java and base the design on Smack since I have worked with smack before and like their way of doing things.
More updates to follow once I have something to show…
