You can either use it as a webchat app, or you can integrate it into your own website. It's 100% client-side JavaScript, HTML and CSS and the only backend required is a modern XMPP server. Please support this project via [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/jcbrand) or [Liberapay](https://liberapay.com/jcbrand) ## Demo Converse is hosted and can be used at [https://conversejs.org](https://conversejs.org). A demo showing anonymous login is available at [https://conversejs.org/demo/anonymous.html](https://conversejs.org/demo/anonymous.html) and a demo which shows how you can embed a single chat room into a page is avialable at [https://conversejs.org/demo/embedded.html](https://conversejs.org/demo/embedded.html). ## Documentation The developer/integrator documentation can be found at [https://conversejs.org/docs/html](https://conversejs.org/docs/html). You'll probably want to begin with the [quickstart guide](https://conversejs.org/docs/html/quickstart.html), which shows you how to use the CDN (content delivery network) to quickly get a demo up and running. ## Converse modes ### Overlay In overlay mode, Converse appears overlayed chats on top of the website.  ### Fullpage In fullpage mode, Converse behaves like a single-page app that covers the whole browser viewport.  ### Embedded In embedded mode, Converse can be embedded into an element in the DOM.  ## Features - Available as overlayed chat boxes or as a fullscreen application.
