Looking for Matrix vs Jabber. Is there any comparison document? Also I was just trying to implement our own Telegram Server to take advantage of Free Telegram Clients available. Can anyone compare Telegram with Matrix. (Except the Federated part).

Jabber (XMPP) has two fundamental differences from Matrix, as I see it: XMPP is a spec for a system for exchanging messages. It has very small, granular "extensions," most of which are optional. Matrix is a spec for a system that stores arbitrary data ("events") and a way to synchronize and resolve conflict across federated servers. It doesn't have extension specifications like XMPP does, and includes a much more complete set of features in its core, to ensure that all client implementations have compatible features. This is a problem in XMPP, where many features can't be used effectively because the servers cannot assume that all clients understand many of the extensions.

  Also, it uses HTTP + Json rather than TCP + XML. Which is an instant win.

    XMPP doesn't have to use raw TCP. BOSH exists for years: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0124.html https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0124.html
