Introduction

Communi is a cross-platform IRC framework written with Qt. Communi provides a set of tools for enabling IRC connectivity in Qt-based C++ and QML applications.

IRC (Internet Relay Chat protocol) is a simple text-based communication protocol. IRC was created back in 1988 and is still popular particularly amongst open source projects. The Communi project's own IRC channel #communi is located on Freenode.

Getting started

Communi is divided in three modules. The following classes from the IrcCore module are the most essential classes to get started.

IrcConnection manages a connection to an IRC server.
IrcNetwork provides information about the connected IRC network.
IrcMessage represents a message received from the IRC server.
IrcCommand represents a command sent to the IRC server.

Refer to the Using Communi document, and the list of examples for further details and help.
