A nickname is a global, memorable (but not necessarily unique) friendly or informal name chosen by the owner of a bare JID {@code
} for the purpose of associating a distinctive mapping between the person's unique JID and non-unique nickname.
@author Christian Schudt @see XEP-0172: User Nickname @see XML SchemaIn general, a user SHOULD include his or her nickname when establishing initial communication with a contact or group of contacts (i.e., the user has never been in communication with and does not have a prior relationship with the contact or group of contacts). Appropriate use cases therefore include:
- Presence subscription requests
- Message exchange
