yowsup is a python library that enables building applications that can communicate with WhatsApp users. The project started as the protocol engine behind Wazapp for Meego and OpenWA for BB10. Now as a standalone library it can be used to power any custom WhatsApp client. During maintenance of yowsup, several projects have been spawned in order to support different features that get introduced by WhatsApp. Some of those features are not necessarily exclusive to WhatsApp and therefore it only made sense to maintain some parts as standalone projects. A running Yowsup app is a stack of several layers. A layer is a bidirectional channel that transforms the data passing through it before passing it to underlying or the above layer.
Features
- YowLayers also are able to send and receive events to and from other layers
- To handle events in one layer, you need to implement the onEvent method in that layer
- Yowsup stack also supports parallel layers
- In Yowsup, protocol layers are placed in parallel
- For a project to use Yowsup, it needs to integrate itself as a layer in the Yowsup stack
- You can simplify your code if you subclass YowInterfaceLayer instead of YowLayer
