NAME
    Net::XMPP::JID - XMPP JID Module

SYNOPSIS
    Net::XMPP::JID is a companion to the Net::XMPP module. It provides the user a simple interface
    to set and retrieve all parts of a Jabber ID (userid on a server).

DESCRIPTION
    To initialize the JID you must pass it the string that represents the jid from the XML packet.
    Inside the XMPP modules this is done automatically and the JID object is returned instead of a
    string. For example, in the callback function for the XMPP object foo:

        use Net::XMPP;

        sub foo {
          my $foo = Net::XMPP::Foo->new(@_);
          my $from = $foo->GetFrom();
          my $JID = Net::XMPP::JID->new($from);
          .
          .
          .
        }

    You now have access to all of the retrieval functions available.

    To create a new JID to send to the server:

        use Net::XMPP;

        $JID = Net::XMPP::JID->new();

    Now you can call the creation functions below to populate the tag before sending it.

  Retrieval functions
        $userid   = $JID->GetUserID();
        $server   = $JID->GetServer();
        $resource = $JID->GetResource();

        $JID      = $JID->GetJID();
        $fullJID  = $JID->GetJID("full");
        $baseJID  = $JID->GetJID("base");

  Creation functions
        $JID->SetJID(userid=>"bob",
                     server=>"jabber.org",
                     resource=>"Work");

        $JID->SetJID('blue AT moon.org/Home');

        $JID->SetUserID("foo");
        $JID->SetServer("bar.net");
        $JID->SetResource("Foo Bar");

METHODS
  Retrieval functions
    GetUserID
          GetUserID()

        returns a string with the userid of the JID. If the string is an address (bob%jabber.org)
        then the function will return it as an address (bob AT jabber.org).

    GetServer
          GetServer()

        returns a string with the server of the JID.

    GerResource
          GetResource()

        returns a string with the resource of the JID.

    GetJID
          GetJID()
          GetJID("full")
          GetJID("base")
        returns a string that represents the JID stored
        within.  If the "full" string is specified, then
        you get the full JID, including Resource, which
        should be used to send to the server.  If the "base",
        string is specified, then you will just get
        user@server, or the base JID.

  Creation functions
    SetJID
          SetJID(userid=>string,
                 server=>string,
                 resource=>string)
          SetJID(string)

        set multiple fields in the jid at one time. This is a cumulative and over writing action. If
        you set the "userid" attribute twice, the second setting is what is used. If you set the
        server, and then set the resource then both will be in the jid. If all you pass is a string,
        then that string is used as the JID. For valid settings read the specific Set functions
        below.

    SetUserID
          SetUserID(string)

        sets the userid. Must be a valid userid or the server will complain if you try to use this
        JID to talk to the server. If the string is an address then it will be converted to the %
        form suitable for using as a User ID.

    SerServer
          SetServer(string)

        sets the server. Must be a valid host on the network or the server will not be able to talk
        to it.

    SetResource
          SetResource(string)

        sets the resource of the userid to talk to.
