    It is standard. The standard allows extensions.

    Yeah so does Matrix but that doesn’t mean everything Element adds as an extension magically becomes standardized.

    As if every Matrix client supported all of it.

    All of them support E2EE.

    XMPP has voice and video calling

    Source? Closest thing I could find is “Jitsi exists and uses XMPP under the hood”

    Just as good as “not JSON based”

    Obvious bandwidth reduction and ease of parsing aside I think JSON is better because it forces you to be intentional about how you add a protocol extension.

      forgot these:

      Not the same way, there are standardized XEPs for XMPP. One may not support and not use them, yes.

      All of them support E2EE.

      Well, every time I’ve used XMPP recently I’ve used OMEMO, so there’s no practical difference. Every modern client supports it.

      Obvious bandwidth reduction

      XMPP has compression.

      and ease of parsing

      OK, suppose so, not being a developer I still think I’d just use libxml for this and json-c for that, but OK.

      aside I think JSON is better because it forces you to be intentional about how you add a protocol extension.
