There is many possible options. If you want a basic chat, you can definitely build you own protocol based on low-level transport.

However, if you think your chat will be or can evolve to a full feature chat application, using XMPP is the way to go. It will avoid you to reinvent the wheel and leverage many advanced features available in the protocol.

There is many libraries available to help you get started and a server like ejabberd is indeed massively scalable.
