mod_conversejs: Serve base app at / This makes things slightly less awkward for the browser to figure out which URLs belong to a PWA. The app's "start URL" was previously without the '/' and therefore was not considered within the scope of the PWA. Now the canonical app URL will always have a '/'. Prosody/mod_http should take care of redirecting existing links without the trailing / to the new URL. If you have an installation at https://prosody/conversejs then it is now at https://prosody/conversejs/ (the first URL will now redirect to the second URL if you use it). The alternative would be to make the PWA scope include the parent, i.e. the whole of https://prosody/ in this case. This might get messy if other PWAs are provided by the same site or Prosody installation, however.

summary: JSON Encodings for XMPP
...

Introduction
============

This plugin encodes XMPP as JSON. This is an implementation of
[XEP-0295: JSON Encodings for
XMPP](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0295.html).

Simply loading this module makes Prosody accept JSON on C2S streams
(legacy XML clients are still supported).

For BOSH, it requires mod\_bosh be loaded, and JSON should be directed
at the `/jsonstreams` HTTP path.

JSON for S2S isn't supported due to the lack of a discovery mechanism,
so we have left that disabled to stay compatible with legacy XML
servers.

Configuration
=============

Just add `"json_streams"` in your config's global `modules_enabled`
list, for example:

    modules_enabled = {
        ...
        "json_streams";
    }

Strophe.js plugin
=================

We also developed a [JSON streams
plugin](http://prosody-modules.googlecode.com/hg/mod_json_streams/strophe.jsonstreams.js)
for the popular [strophe.js](http://code.stanziq.com/strophe) library.

Just include it like this after including the strophe library, and your
strophe-based client will be speaking JSON:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="strophe.jsonstreams.js"></script>

Be sure to set the HTTP path to `/jsonstreams`. No other changes are
required.
