Node.js and interacting with a native chat like Pidgin?

Is there a way to interact easily with a native messaging client (for example Pidgin) when using Node.js ?

I tried to create a simple chat system with the XMPP protocol with Node.js (with https://github.com/astro/node-xmpp then https://github.com/amiadogroup/candy). But I didn't work and it was complicated.

Solution

  • You can use another protocol like IRC. Relevant node module: node-irc
