What is Tapioca

• This Guide is inspired by Tapioca Documentation. Links ahead. Tapioca is a framework for Voice over IP (VoIP) and Instant Messaging (IM). Its main goal is to provide an easy way for developing and using VoIP and IM services in any kind of application. It was designed to be cross-platform, lightweight, thread-safe, having mobile devices and applications in mind.

Tapioca's main goals are:

• Create a solution that integrates all components used by VoIP and IM applications in a single, reliable and easy to use framework, which is able to work on different platforms.
• Spare resources, providing central services for multiple applications. Eg.: The control of all incoming and outgoing SIP requests are managed by the SIP service, avoiding the creation of one SIP stack and allocation of a network port for each SIP-based application.
• Reduce the overhead of control layers and library dependencies.

• Tapioca has NAT Transversal, Python Bindings and full interoperability with GoogleTalk since version 0.3.0
