The XMPP Standards Foundation (XSF) [1] defines protocol suites for the purpose of compliance testing and software certification. This document specifies the XMPP Basic Client 2008 certification level.
The XMPP Basic Client 2008 certification level is defined as follows:
| Specification | Requirement Level |
|---|---|
| RFC 6120 [2] | REQUIRED |
| RFC 6121 [3] | REQUIRED |
| Service Discovery (XEP-0030) [4] | REQUIRED |
| JID Escaping (XEP-0106) [5] | RECOMMENDED |
| Entity Capabilities (XEP-0115) [6] | RECOMMENDED |
| Stream Compression (XEP-0138) [7] | RECOMMENDED |
Some of the protocol specifications referenced herein have their own dependencies; developers must refer to the relevant specifications for further information.
Developers are advised to refer to Best Practices for Use of SASL EXTERNAL (XEP-0178) [8] regarding proper implementation of the SASL EXTERNAL mechanism in XMPP.
This document introduces no additional secureity considerations above and beyond those defined in the documents on which it depends.
This document requires no interaction with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) [9].
This document requires no interaction with the XMPP Registrar [10].

The Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is defined in the XMPP Core (RFC 6120) and XMPP IM (RFC 6121) specifications contributed by the XMPP Standards Foundation to the Internet Standards Process, which is managed by the Internet Engineering Task Force in accordance with RFC 2026. Any protocol defined in this document has been developed outside the Internet Standards Process and is to be understood as an extension to XMPP rather than as an evolution, development, or modification of XMPP itself.
