<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
|
||||
<p>The introduction of PubSub brought a lot of new extensions that are now extensively used across the whole XMPP network. However PubSub never specified a way to clearly identify which extension is actually used on a specific node.</p>
|
||||
<p>This extension defines a new <tt>namespace</tt> attribute on a node helping clients and servers implementations to know exactly what kind of data is in a node and how it should be used, i.e., server doing validation, or clients adapting their UI/UX to the type of data.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having access to this data also enables a new range of features to base on top of this extension, such as filtering, restrictions, etc.</p>
|
||||
<p>PubSub Namespace introduces a new PubSub Node metadata (as defined in <link url="https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html#entity-metadata">Discover Entity Metadata</link>) called <tt>urn:xmpp:pubsub-ns:0#namespace</tt>.</p>

<p>If a server supports the "Pubsub Namespaces" protocol, it MUST advertise the "urn:xmpp:pubsub-ns:0" feature (see Protocol Namespaces regarding issuance of one or more permanent namespaces) in response to a Service Discovery (XEP-0030) information request.</p>

|

<p>When a Pubsub service enables Pubsub namespaces all the node creation and configuration on this service MUST have a configured <tt>urn:xmpp:pubsub-ns:0#namespace</tt> with the namespace declared in the corresponding specification.</p>
|
||||
<section3 topic='Configuring a node with an undefined namespace' anchor='undefined-namespace'>
|
||||
<p>Existing clients and libraries that are not implementing PubSub Namespaces will not provide the <tt>urn:xmpp:pubsub-ns:0#namespace</tt> attribute when creating or configuring a PubSub node.</p>
|
||||
<p>Therefore, if the server supports Pubsub Namespaces and if the client is creating a node where the nodeid is contained in the list of nodes available in the Pubsub Namespaces Registrar, the server MUST then set the corresponding namespace referring to the nodeid.</p>
|
||||
<p>If a node is created or configured with an empty namespace and the server doesn't find any correspondence in the Registrar, it MUST then return an error of type <tt>modify</tt> containing a <tt>bad-request</tt> element in the <tt>urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas</tt> namespace, alongside a <tt>namespace-required</tt> element of namespace <tt>urn:xmpp:pubsub-ns:errors:0</tt>.</p>
