一个典型的Jingle XMPP stanza:
<iq from='romeo@montague.lit/orchard' id='xs51r0k4' to='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony' type='set'> <jingle xmlns='urn:xmpp:jingle:1' action='session-initiate' initiator='romeo@montague.lit/orchard' sid='a73sjjvkla37jfea'> <content creator='initiator' name='voice'> <description xmlns='urn:xmpp:jingle:apps:rtp:1' media='audio'> <payload-type id='96' name='speex' clockrate='16000'/> <payload-type id='97' name='speex' clockrate='8000'/> <payload-type id='18' name='G729'/> <payload-type id='0' name='PCMU' /> <payload-type id='103' name='L16' clockrate='16000' channels='2'/> <payload-type id='98' name='x-ISAC' clockrate='8000'/> </description> <transport xmlns='urn:xmpp:jingle:transports:ice-udp:1' pwd='asd88fgpdd777uzjYhagZg' ufrag='8hhy'> <candidate component='1' foundation='1' generation='0' id='el0747fg11' ip='10.0.1.1' network='1' port='8998' priority='2130706431' protocol='udp' type='host'/> <candidate component='1' foundation='2' generation='0' id='y3s2b30v3r' ip='192.0.2.3' network='1' port='45664' priority='1694498815' protocol='udp' rel-addr='10.0.1.1' rel-port='8998' type='srflx'/> </transport> </content> </jingle> </iq>
从XEP-0166的XML Schema可以看出, <jingle>元素下的<content>元素minOccurs为0, maxOccurs为无限. 而<content>元素下的子元素未定义, 需要到别的XEP去看, minOccurs为0, maxOccurs为无限.
从XEP-0167的XML Schema可以看出, <description>元素下的<payload-type>元素minOccurs为0, maxOccurs为无限.
从XEP-0176的XML Schema可以看出, <transport>元素下的<candidate>元素minOccurs为1, maxOccurs为无限.
结合起来, 意味着<jingle>元素作为<iq>元素的子元素, 其下面可以包含任意多个<content>子元素, 而<content>子元素下面可以包含任意的<description>元素和<transport>元素.
所以, Libjingle在实现Jingle协议的时候, 设计了对应的数据结构来实现各种可能的情况, 导致代码看起来很晦涩, 其实对照Jingle的XML Schema来看, 就很容易理解了.
