Application services can provide access to third-party networks via
|
2021-01-20 00:57:35 +01:00
|
|
|
bridging. This allows Matrix users to communicate with users on other
|
|
|
|
|
communication platforms, with messages ferried back and forth by the
|
|
|
|
|
application service. A single application service may bridge multiple
|

|
|
|
third-party networks, and many individual locations within those
|
|
|
|
|
networks. A single third-party network location may be bridged to
|
2021-01-20 00:57:35 +01:00
|
|
|
multiple Matrix rooms.

A client may wish to provide a rich interface for joining third-party
|
|
|
|
|
locations and connecting with third-party users. Information necessary
|
|
|
|
|
for such an interface is provided by third-party lookups.
