[Standards] Proposed XMPP Extension: IO DATA

[Johannes Wagener]

Proposed XMPP Extension: IO DATA

Hello,
here I submit a proposal for a new XEP called "IO DATA".

The XEP is already located in the XEP inbox directory:
  URL: http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/io-data.html

However, the initial version is erroneously missing some namespaces in 
the examples, therefore we append the current fixed version as PDF to 
the mail directly to the standards mailing list.

Abstract: This specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for 
handling the input to and output from a remote entity.

Further explanation comes here:
We want to do dynamic Web Services over XMPP. For certain reasons we 
explain in the XEP we think neither SOAP over XMPP nor Jabber-RPC is the 
way to go. We think future asynchronous Web Services can be best 
implemented with the session based Ad-Hoc Commands XEP-0050.

Thus, and as already suggested in Ad-Hoc Commands we describe an 
alternative data container IO DATA that can transport more complex data 
than Data Forms. The specification describes a way to discover the 
Schemata of the IO DATA input and output at runtime, too. Thus a client 
implementation can dynamically marshal an API for the input and output 
of a certain service.
