Travis Bountysource bounties Translation status

Converse.js is a web based XMPP/Jabber instant messaging client.

It enables you to add chat functionality to your website, independent of any specific backend. You will however need an XMPP server to connect to, either your own, or a public one.

Demo

Converse.js is hosted and can be used at https://conversejs.org.

A demo showing anonymous login is available at 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.
