===========
converse.js
===========
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.
<p>This is currently possible, except for adding new contacts, which still makes an XHR call to the (Plone) backend to fetch user info.
--------
Features
--------
It has the following features:
* Manually or automically subscribe to other users.
* Accept or decline contact requests
* Chat status (online, busy, away, offline)
* Custom status messages
* Typing notifications
* Third person messages (/me )
* Multi-user chat in chatrooms
* Chatroom Topics
* vCard support
-----------
Screencasts
-----------
* `In a static HTML page`_. Here we chat to external XMPP accounts on Jabber.org and Gmail.
* `Integrated into a Plone site`_ via collective.xmpp.chat.
------------
Dependencies
------------
It depends on quite a few third party libraries, including:
* strophe.js_
* backbone.js_
* require.js_
-------
