XmppDotNet announcement

Posted by gnauck on March 22, 2023 Comments Off on XmppDotNet announcement
I want to announce the availability of the XmppDotNet XMPP library. XmppDotNet is the new name and next generation of our MatriX vNext XMPP library. Why changing the name? It was never intended to keep vNext in the name forever. And there is a lot of confusion between MatriX and MatriX vNext at some of […]

We are thrilled to announce the next generation of the MatriX XMPP libraries. 15 years elapsed already since we started our first .NET/c# XMPP library agsXMPP with .NET 1.0.

Await MatriX

C# 5.0 brought us the great new Async and Await feature. It helps to avoid bottlenecks when it comes to performance or to improve the responsiveness of UI applications. Both of them were never a problem in MatriX, because its completely asynchronous internal. We helped GUI developers a lot by handling all multi threading and […]

XPath support for MatriX

Posted by gnauck on March 12, 2010 0 comments
XPath support for my XMPP libraries was on my TODO list for a long time. Because agsXMPP is using its own DOM implementation I wasn’t able to use standard XPath libraries. Writing a custom XPath implementation is quite a challenge, and using System.Xml’s XPath functions would require 2 different DOMs and parsing the Xml twice, […]
