node js for XMPP protocol?

I want to develop an instant messaging for mobile application, like whatsapp, with nodejs as my backend. I have gone through XMPP protocols and read xmpp.org documentation as well.

I referred to this link and I am able to build some of the basic XMPP functionality like creating and messaging users. But I am still unable to implement the complete functionality of XMPP in nodejs.

So: are there any node js libaries available to build the complete functionality of xmpp protocol, such as asmack? Alternatively, how do I send calls to XMPP server via XML?

XMPP is the standard for messaging. But it is not clear how Node will help you better than an established library on another platform. Node does make it a breeze to do scalable web socket apps, which work a lot better using JSON instead of XML though. So perhaps what you want to do is build a web socket IM application in Node and also implement an XMPP interface.
