mod_unified_push: Remove dependency on trunk util.jwt (0.12 compat) This should allow the module to work on 0.12, while preserving expiry checking (which was not built in to 0.12's util.jwt).

summary: JSON Encodings for XMPP
...

Introduction
============

This plugin encodes XMPP as JSON. This is an implementation of
[XEP-0295: JSON Encodings for
XMPP](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0295.html).

Simply loading this module makes Prosody accept JSON on C2S streams
(legacy XML clients are still supported).

For BOSH, it requires mod\_bosh be loaded, and JSON should be directed
at the `/jsonstreams` HTTP path.

JSON for S2S isn't supported due to the lack of a discovery mechanism,
so we have left that disabled to stay compatible with legacy XML
servers.

Configuration
=============

Just add `"json_streams"` in your config's global `modules_enabled`
list, for example:

    modules_enabled = {
        ...
        "json_streams";
    }

Strophe.js plugin
=================

We also developed a [JSON streams
plugin](http://prosody-modules.googlecode.com/hg/mod_json_streams/strophe.jsonstreams.js)
for the popular [strophe.js](http://code.stanziq.com/strophe) library.

Just include it like this after including the strophe library, and your
strophe-based client will be speaking JSON:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="strophe.jsonstreams.js"></script>

Be sure to set the HTTP path to `/jsonstreams`. No other changes are
required.
