# converse.js

[](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.
|
|
|
|
## Demo

|
|
A live demo is available at [https://conversejs.org](https://conversejs.org)

|
The developer/integrator documentation can be found at [https://conversejs.org/docs/html](https://conversejs.org/docs/html).
