<p><strong>Converse.js</strong> implements an <ahref="http://xmpp.org">XMPP</a> based instant messaging client in the browser.</p>
<p>It is used by <ahref="http://github.com/collective/collective.xmpp.chat">collective.xmpp.chat</a>, which is a <ahref="http://plone.org">Plone</a> instant messaging add-on.</p>
<p>The ultimate goal is to enable anyone to add chat functionality to their websites, regardless of the backend.</p>
<p>Currently this is not yet the case, as the code makes ajax calls to the (Plone) backend
to fetch user info. </p>
<h2>Features</h2>
