Broid Schemas
Broid Integrations is an open source project providing a suite of Activity Streams 2 libraries for unified communications among a vast number of communication platforms.
Connect your App to Multiple Messaging Channels with One OpenSource Language.
Schemas
Broid integrations support Simple, Rich, Video and Image messages. Theses schemas use activitystreams 2.0 specifications. If using Typescript, you can use the interfaces supplied here to simplify your work.
Examples
Here you'll find examples of communication across different services. Even though the examples may not be to the service you wish to use, the schema remains the same across all integrations if the communication method (e.g images, videos) is supported.
