Usage notes

Instantiation restriction

The class Mesibo is not instantiable.

ie; The following operation is invalid

var m = new Mesibo()

Only a single global instance of Mesibo class , defined as mesibo exists throughout the lifetime of your script.

Global Initialization

It is necessary to initialize the event handlers for the global mesibo object before you use any other class or function in your script. The handler mesibo.onmessage needs to be initialized compulsorily in your script. mesibo.onlogin and mesibo.onmessagestatus are optional handlers that can be defined if required.
