Data forms in XMPP-FTW
As data forms follow a set format, they are easy to map to and from JSON for use with XMPP-FTW. The only minor difference with data forms is that as we are using named events, XMPP-FTW is able to fill in the FORM_TYPE on your behalf; so it's a little simpler again.

socket.send(
'xmpp.muc.room.config.get',
{ "room": "gang@lous.cafe" },
function(error, data) { console.log(error, data) }
)
The server would then respond with a data form formatted, like so:
{
title: "Configuration for "gang" Room",
instructions: "Update this form to modify the configuration of the chat
room", fields: [
{ var: "muc#roomconfig_roomname", type: "text-single", required: false,
value: "Biff's gang @ the diner", label: "Room Name" },
{
var: "muc#roomconfig_maxusers",
