Hello Bob,

It is described in the document called "Using XEP 3.8 in Java
Applications" that is a part of Server/Developer XEP editions. The
reason is that intermediate format is primarily aimed to those who
need to perform some postprocessing through the XEP API or want to
write their own backend.

Best regards,

BS> That sounds like a perfect solution.  But I can't find any information in
BS> the XEP doc or website about the "XEP intermediate format".  Where do I get
BS> documentation on it?

>> Hello Bob,

>> You can use XEP intermediate format for this purpose. For every
