What is the underlying protocol that Ruma uses for communication? Is it HTTP, XMPP or something else?

• Perceptes 10y ago
  In terms of OSI layer 7 protocol, Matrix uses HTTP, though in the future it may specify other application protocols.

    The problem with HTTP is that it drains 11 times more battery on a mobile phone than something like MQTT.

      Can you give any evidence to support that statement?
    • Arathorn 10y ago
      As Perceptes says, Matrix is designed to have modular transports. So if you want to use MQTT or CoAP or WebSockets or whatever for the client/server API, then go for it :) PRs welcome!
