converse.js

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

It is used by collective.xmpp.chat, which is a Plone instant messaging add-on.

The ultimate goal is to enable anyone to add chat functionality to their websites, independent of any backend. You will however need an XMPP server to connect to, either your own, or a public one.

Features

It has the following features:

• Manually or automically subscribe to other users.
• Accept or decline contact requests
• Chat status (online, busy, away, offline)
• Custom status messages
• Typing notifications
• Third person messages (/me )
• Multi-user chat in chatrooms
• Chatroom Topics
• vCard support

Screencasts

• In a static HTML page. Here we chat to external XMPP accounts on Jabber.org and Gmail.
• Integrated into a Plone site via collective.xmpp.chat.

Dependencies

It depends on quite a few third party libraries, including:

• strophe.js
• backbone.js
• require.js

Licence

Converse.js is released under both the MIT and GPL licenses.
