Question

Im looking for a solid and working XMPP gem for rails 3.2

There are hundreds of them in the net, but most of them outdated or alpha.

Can you recommend me one for rails 3.2?

The gem xmpp4r works fine. (https://github.com/ln/xmpp4r)

Here is an example:

require 'xmpp4r'

sender_jid = Jabber::JID.new('[e-mail]')
client = Jabber::Client.new(sender_jid)
client.connect('talk.google.com')
client.auth('password')

client.send(Jabber::Presence.new.set_show(:chat)).set_status('my status')

receiver_jid = Jabber::JID.new("[e-mail]")
message = Jabber::Message::new(receiver_jid, "Testing").set_type(:normal).set_id('1')
client.send(message)
