I vaguely remember one of the authors of XMPP invented an alternative protocol which is simpler, perhaps based on JSON, anyone remember?
Using XML these days seems too heavy weight.

- bct 14y agoXMPP's XML overhead isn't as large as you might think; it compresses well, and streaming XML parsers can be pretty fast. XML's extensibility is one of the reasons that XMPP has so many XEPs. A JSON-based protocol would need a central registry or some kind of namespaces to achieve the same thing.
