Kurento Room is composed by several modules to offer group communications by means of WebRTC. These modules are:

• kurento-room-sdk - module that provides a management interface for developers of multimedia conferences (rooms) applications in Java.
• kurento-room-server - Kurento’s own implementation of server-side room management. It provides a WebSockets API for the communications between room clients and the server.
• kurento-room-client - Java library that uses WebSockets and JSON-RPC to interact with the Room Server. Can be used to implement the client-side of a room application based on our server.
• kurento-room-client-js - Javascript library that acts as wrapper for several JS APIs (WebRTC, WebSockets, Kurento Utils). Can be used to implement the client-side of a room application based on our server.
• kurento-room-test - integration and functionality tests for the room server applications (demo & basic).
• kurento-room-demo - demonstration project, contains the client-side implementation (HTML, Javascript, graphic resources) and embeds the Room Server to provide the functionality required for group communications.
• kurento-room-basicapp - lighter demonstration project.

There is extensive documentation on each of these components together with a tutorial based on the Room demo. These docs are generated from a separate Kurento project.

Kurento is an open source software project providing a platform suitable for creating modular applications with advanced real-time communication capabilities. For knowing more about Kurento, please visit the Kurento project website: http://www.kurento.org.
