converse.js
===========
``Converse.js`` implements an XMPP_ based instant messaging client in the browser.
Converse.js_ implements an XMPP_ based instant messaging client in the browser.
It is used by collective.xmpp.chat_, which is a Plone_ instant messaging add-on.
The ultimate goal is to enable anyone to add Jabber chat functionality to their websites,
regardless of the server backend.
Currently this is not yet the case, as the code makes ajax calls to the (Plone) backend
to fetch user info. This should be replaced with VCards (we're currently
working on it).
This library is therefore not (yet) usable independently.
The ultimate goal is to enable anyone to add chat functionality to their websites, regardless of the backend.
<p>This is currently possible, except for adding new contacts, which still makes an XHR call to the (Plone) backend to fetch user info.
