Matrix is an open protocol for real-time communication. It is designed to allow users with accounts at one communications service provider to communicate with users of a different service provider via online chat, Voice over IP, and Videotelephony. That is, it aims to make real-time communication work seamlessly between different service providers, just like standard Simple Mail Transfer Protocol email does now for store-and-forward email service. From a technical perspective, it is an application layer communications protocol for federated real-time communication. It provides HTTP APIs and open source reference implementations for securely distributing and persisting messages in JSON format over an open federation of servers. It can integrate with standard web services via WebRTC, facilitating browser-to-browser applications. Previous attempts, like XMPP, at defining an open instant messaging or multimedia signalling protocol of this type and getting it widely adopted have highlighted the challenges involved, both technological and political. It is unclear if there is enough demand among users for services which interoperate among providers. ==Development== Development of Matrix is led by Matrix.org, a non-for-profit initiative based in the United Kingdom, which hopes to make it an open standard for decentralised, persistent and interoperable communications over the Internet.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Matrix )〕 Matrix targets use cases like Voice over IP, Internet of Things and instant messaging, including group communication, along with a longer-term goal to be a generic messaging and data synchronization system for the web. The protocol supports security and replication, maintaining full conversation history, with no single points of control or failure. Existing communication services can integrate with the Matrix ecosystem.〔 Client software is available for open-federated Instant Messaging (IM), Voice over IP (VoIP) and Internet of Things (IoT) communication. Matrix was the winner of the Innovation award at WebRTC 2014 Conference & Expo, and of the Best in Show award at WebRTC World in 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Matrix (communication protocol)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
