It is a standard, starting at RFC 6120. Everyone can use it today. 😃

I can’t believe XMPP is not a standard

Yes, but not open like the e-mail.

Not open? Wat

Technically, whatsapp, telegram, signal, even the chat of some online games are XMPP, but the servers are closed to be able to interact with other ones so they can become a monopoly…

It was.
In fact, for about 3 weeks, Facebook and gtalk could exchange message seamlessly and easily over their fed gateway and xmpp.
Seeing a problem with this, FB changed. With it being at least 4.5 weeks since the last complete redesign incompatible with the old, Google also changed to something that sucked.
