I have a very simple (hope in future it'll be more useful) a pet project
xmpp client that connects to rooms and does simple things. Like a bot.

I found exmpp more ready to use it like an example, but the author of
exmpp said:

"Just as a  head up,  note that post is > 5 years old already.  The
main goal of exmpp itself was to be used as parser/xml core in
ejabberd".

So I started my project as simple request-response flow with server.
The main problem is to read XMPP XEPs. :)
