How to check if a user JID is already taken in XMPPFrameWork

I am kind of new to xmppframework. I have a quick question. Is it possible to know if a certain JID is available or no. In other words is it possible to check that the username is already associated or registered with certain account.

with jabber search yes you can search and find user with specific jID or userName or ...

in here i create function that take some jID as a parameter and the server response to you as a query and inside that query if anythings match there will be items that contains user with matching jID

func xmppQueryForSearchPacket(forJID jid: String) {
    let searchingServer = "search.something" //something must replace with your xmpp domain name
    let query = DDXMLElement(name: "query", xmlns: "jabber:iq:search")
    let x = DDXMLElement(name: "x", xmlns: "jabber:x:data")
    x.addAttribute(withName: "type", stringValue: "submit")


    let field1 = DDXMLElement(name: "field")
    let value1 = DDXMLElement(name: "value", stringValue: "jabber:iq:search")
    field1.addAttribute(withName: "type", stringValue: "hidden")
    field1.addAttribute(withName: "var", stringValue: "FORM_TYPE")
    field1.addChild(value1)


    let field2 = DDXMLElement(name: "field")
    let value2 = DDXMLElement(name: "value", stringValue: jid)
    field2.addAttribute(withName: "type", stringValue: "text-single")
    field2.addAttribute(withName: "var", stringValue: "search")
    field2.addChild(value2)

    //we just search in userNames

    let field3 = DDXMLElement(name: "field")
    let value3 = DDXMLElement(name: "value", stringValue: "1")
    field3.addAttribute(withName: "type", stringValue: "boolean")
    field3.addAttribute(withName: "var", stringValue: "Username")
    field3.addChild(value3)


    x.addChild(field1)
    x.addChild(field2)
    x.addChild(field3)
    query.addChild(x)


    let iq = XMPPIQ(iqType: .set, to: XMPPJID(string: searchingServer), elementID: XMPPStream.generateUUID, child: query)
   XMPPStream.send(iq)
}

the answer of that packet will come in a query form and you can receive it like this :

extension yourClassName: XMPPStreamDelegate {
    func xmppStream(_ sender: XMPPStream, didReceive iq: XMPPIQ) -> Bool {
        let searchingServer = "search.something"
        if iq.from?.bare != searchingServer {
            return true
        }
        return false
    }
}

for more information please reade XEP-0055.
