# converse.js
[![Travis](https://api.travis-ci.org/jcbrand/converse.js.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/jcbrand/converse.js)
[Converse.js](https://conversejs.org) is a web based [XMPP/Jabber](http://xmpp.org) 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.
