<p><strong>Converse.js</strong> is an open source webchat client, that
runs in the browser and can be integrated into any website.</p>
<p>It's similar to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php" target="_blank">Facebook chat</a>, but also supports multi-user chatrooms.</p>
<p><em>Converse.js</em> can connect to any accessible <a href="http://xmpp.org" target="_blank">XMPP/Jabber</a> server, either from a public provider such as <a href="http://jabber.org">jabber.org</a>, or to one you have set up yourself.</p>
<p>It's possible to enable single-site-login, whereby users already authenticated in your website will also automatically be logged in on the chat server,
but you will have to pre-authenticate them on your server. You can refer to the <a href="/docs/html/index.html">documentation</a> for more
info.</p>

<li><a href="http://opkode.com/media/blog/instant-messaging-for-plone-with-javascript-and-xmpp" target="_blank">Screencast 1</a>:
Integrated into a Plone site via <strong>collective.xmpp.chat</strong>.
</li>
<li><a href="http://opkode.com/media/blog/2013/04/02/converse.js-xmpp-instant-messaging-with-javascript" target="_blank">Screencast 2</a>:
A static HTML page with <em>Converse.js</em>. Here we chat to external XMPP accounts on Jabber.org and Gmail.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Integration into other frameworks</h2>
<ul>
<li><h4><a href="http://plone.org" target="_blank">Plone</a></h4>
<strong><a href="http://github.com/collective/collective.xmpp.chat" target="_blank">collective.xmpp.chat</a></strong>
is an add-on for Plone that uses <em>Converse.js</em>.
Together with <a href="http://github.com/collective/collective.xmpp.core" target="_blank">collective.xmpp.core</a>, it provides for single-signon-support (SSO)
and also enables you to manually or automatically
register your Plone users onto your XMPP server.
</li>
<li><h4><a href="http://www.djangoproject.com" target="_blank">Django</a></h4>
<strong><a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-conversejs" target="_blank">django-conversejs</a></strong> is an app that makes it easer to integrate <em>Converse.js</em>
into Django. It adds single-signon-support (SSO) support and a database model to store XMPP credentials.
</li>
<li><h4><a href="http://roundcube.net" target="_blank">Roundcube</a></h4>
<strong><a href="https://github.com/priyadi/roundcube-converse.js-xmpp-plugin" target="_blank">roundcube-converse.js-xmpp-plugin</a></strong>
is a plugin for Roundcube Webmail. It's README states that it's still a work in progress.
</li>
</ul>
<p>If you have integrated <em>Converse.js</em> into any other CMS or framework,
<a href="http://opkode.com/contact.html" target="_blank">please let me know</a> and I'll mention it on this page.</p>
<h2>Demo</h2>
<p>You can log in with any existing XMPP account. There is also a list of public XMPP providers on <a href="http://xmpp.net" target="_blank">xmpp.net</a>.</p>
<p><em><strong>Note:</strong> currently the demo doesn't work in Internet Explorer older
than 10. This is due to lacking support for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing">CORS</a>,
a standard which enables cross-domain XmlHttpRequests. There are ways
around this, but it hasn't been a priority for me to implement them for this demo.
See <a href="/docs/html/index.html#overcoming-cross-domain-request-restrictions" target="_blank">here</a> for more information.</p></em>
<h3>Is it secure?</h3>
<p>
Yes, as long as you can trust that the Javascript being downloaded is
not being tampered with. This page itself is served by Github and is not SSL Encrypted (e.g. HTTPS).
I don't know how probable it is that Github served pages could be hacked to
insert malicious Javascript.
</p>
<p>
Ideally you'd want your site to be served via HTTPS, to make it more
difficult. In this case, use with caution.
</p>
<p>
<em>Converse.js</em> makes HTTP requests to a <em>connection manager</em>, which in this case has an
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer" target="_blank">SSL</a> encrypted connection to an XMPP server.</p>
The <em>connection manager</em> then uses SSL and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security">TLS</a> to connect to an XMPP server.
</p>
<p>
Logging in happens via <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Authentication_and_Security_Layer">SASL</a> and
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security">TLS</a>.
</p>
That said, the developers don't assume any liability for any loss or damages as a result of using this software or demo. Use this demo at your own risk.
<h3>Session support</h3>
<p>
The chat client will disconnect whenever you reload the page. If you
want the user's session to persist across page reloads, you can
establish an authenticated connection on the server side and then attach to
this connection in your browser.
</p>
<p><em>Converse.js</em> already supports this usecase, but you'll have to do some integration work yourself.</p>
<h2>Documentation</h2>
<p>
The documentation is included in the source download under the <em>docs</em>
folder, or <a href="/docs/html/index.html" target="_blank">can be read online</a>.
</p>
<h2>Tests</h2>
<p>
We use the <a href="http://pivotal.github.io/jasmine" target="_blank">Jasmine</a> testing framework to write tests.
Tests can be run in the browser (just open tests.html) or in the
commandline via ``grunt test``.
</p>
