Overview

TIMP.NET open architecture is based on a powerful application programming interface (API) that allows for the creation of real time communication applications using any programming language including C#, Visual Basic, C++, VBScript, Perl and Python.

The SDK is a set of .NET class library with more than 20 namespaces, grouped in three different hierarchies:
Bedrock - .NET porting of common used C++ base library for XMPP programming
Tipic - library for developing applications that interface with TIMP.NET
XMPP - classes and utilities to develop XMPP based services or 3rd party XMPP servers
The SDK is described fully in "The TIMP.NET Programmer Reference" (1200 pages - available upon request).

Applications for TIMP.NET can also be developed using 3rd party XMPP/Jabber programming libraries or tools.

XMPP/Jabber libraries are available for many programming languages and platforms. Some of these libraries are open source licensed other are commercial.
