What are good sources to study the threading implementation of a XMPP application?

stanza = null
while parser has more:
  switch on token type:
     START_TAG:
       elem =  create element from parser state
       if stanza is not null:
         add elem as child of stanza
       stanza = elem
     END_TAG:
       parent = parent of stanza
       if parent is not null:
         fire OnStanza event
       stanza = parent
