``Converse.js`` implements an XMPP_ based instant messaging client in the browser.

*Warning*: This library is still heavily under development!

It has the following features:

    * Manually or automically subscribe to other users. 
    * With manual roster subscriptions, you can accept or decline contact requests.
    * Chat statuses (online, busy, away, offline)
    * Custom status message
    * Typing notifications (i.e when the contact is typing)
    * Third person messages (/me )
    * Multi-user chat in chatrooms
    * Topics can be set for chatrooms
    * Full name and profile picture support 

Converse.js is used by collective.xmpp.chat_, which is a Plone_ instant
messaging add-on.

It depends on quite a few third party libraries, including strophe.js_,
backbone.js_ and require.js_.
