<p><strong>Converse.js</strong> is an open source, web based, <a href="http://xmpp.org" target="_blank">XMPP/Jabber</a> chat client, similar to

<p>It is a Javascript application that you can include in your
website, thereby providing it with instant messaging functionality.</p>
<p>You will however need access to an XMPP/Jabber server.</p>
<p>You can connect to any public, federated XMPP server, or you could set one up
yourself, thereby maintaining stricter control of the user data (XMPP servers
usually don't archive chat messages).</p>
<p>You will also need access to an XMPP/Jabber server. You can connect to any public, federated XMPP server, or you can set one up
yourself, thereby maintaining stricter privacy controls.</p>
<p>It's possible to enable single-site login, whereby users already
authenticated in your website will also automatically be logged in on the chat server, but this will require custom code on your server.</p>
<p>An <a href="http://github.com/collective/collective.xmpp.chat" target="_blank">add-on product</a> that does exactly this,
already exists for the <a href="http://plone.org" target="_blank">Plone</a> CMS. Hopefully in the future more such add-ons will
be created for other platforms.

<p><b>Note:</b> currently the demo doesn't work in Internet Explorer older
than 10. This is due to lacking support for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing">CORS</a>,
a standard which enables cross-domain XmlHttpRequests. There are ways
around this, but it hasn't been a priority for me to implement them for
this demo.

<h3>Is it secure?</h3>
<p>Yes. In this demo <strong>Converse.js</strong> makes an

<p><strong>Converse.js</strong> already supports this usecase, but you'll have to do more manual work yourself.</p>
