Node.js and interacting with a native chat like Pidgin?

Question

Is there a way to interact easily with a native messaging client (for example Pidgin) when using Node.js ?

I tried to create a simple chat system with the XMPP protocol with Node.js (with https://github.com/astro/node-xmpp then https://github.com/amiadogroup/candy). But I didn't work and it was complicated.

Seriously, use an XMPP library for this instead of hooking into a GUI client. Really. — thejh, Nov 19 '11 at 19:48

You can use another protocol like IRC. Relevant node module: node-irc
