public interface PacketExtension
extends NamedElement

Interface to represent packet extensions. A packet extension is an XML subdocument with a root element name and namespace. Packet extensions are used to provide extended functionality beyond what is in the base XMPP specification. Examples of packet extensions include message events, message properties, and extra presence data. IQ packets cannot contain packet extensions.

This class is used primarily for extended content in XMPP Stanzas, to act as so called "extension elements". For more information see RFC 6120 § 8.4 Extended Content.
