Laurena Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 For an instant messaging application, a 'java based XMPP server' or 'php based XMPP server' would be the best? Many say its the latter? If so, why is java based superior to Php based? A revert with an expert opinion will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Robertson Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 PHP is not even the right kind of language to write a messenger server in. Java runs as a process while PHP runs when web pages are requested. Since XMPP isn't designed to use HTTP traffic, you need Java or a C family or any other language that runs as its own process.
