Prosody is a lightweight and flexible XMPP server written in Lua. It provides the backbone for real-time communication — including instant messaging, presence, and group chat — using the open XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) standard.
Designed for both simplicity and performance, Prosody is easy to configure, secure, and highly extensible through a wide range of community modules.
Within WikiSuite, Prosody can provide chat, presence, and real-time collaboration services for users. With appropriate configuration (for example using Tiki's Prosody integration module or userlist bridge), it can be linked to Tiki for unified user management and authentication.
