# Parsee - the jealous XMPP<=>Matrix bridge Parsee is a Matrix<=>XMPP bridge written in C99, with Cytoplasm, similar to Bifrost, but it is NOT a drop-in replacment. ## Why? ### Naming The name 'Parsee' is actually a reference to [Parsee Mizuhashi](https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Parsee_Mizuhashi), a "*bridge* princess". ### Reasoning (personal to LDA) I hate Bifrost. I also wanted to dip my toes in XMPP, XML, and bridges a bit. Also, as a sister project to KappaChat, this means that I can integrate Parsee with KappaChat however I wish it to be, which allows me to mess around with a codebase I'm already familiar with. ### "Why not just use Matrix lol" ### "Why not just use XMPP lol" These two having the same answer should be enough information. Also can I *just* have fun? ~~Also dependency bad.~~ ## BUILDING ```sh $ make # This generates a 'parsee' executable. $ ``` ## RUNNING TODO ## DOCS TODO
