+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 chat functionality to their websites, regardless of the backend.
This is currently possible, except for adding new contacts, which still makes an XHR call to the (Plone) backend to fetch user info.

Demo
++ The code in Converse.js is pretty solid and already used in production + in Plone installations. It's however not yet 100% ready for prime-time + as a standalone client. +
++ Nevertheless, you can try out the current functionality on this page. +
++ Click this link or + click the link on the bottom right corner. + +
++ Besides providing valid credentials for an XMPP/Jabber account, you'll also have to provide + the details of a BOSH Connection Manager. + I intend to set up a connection manager for people to play with in the + near future, but for the moment I unfortunately can't help you there. +
++ You can create a Jabber/XMPP account at any of these providers: +

+
- + jabber.org + + +
- + jappix.com + +
- + gmail.com + +
