Converse.js is a web based XMPP/Jabber 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.
It is used by collective.xmpp.chat, which is a Plone instant messaging add-on.
It has the following features:
- Single-user chat
- Multi-user chat in chatrooms
- vCard support
- Service discovery
- Contact rosters
- Manually or automically subscribe to other contacts
- Accept or decline contact requests
- Roster item exchange
- Chat statuses (online, busy, away, offline)
- Custom status messages
- Typing notifications
- Third person messages (/me )
- Translated into multiple languages (af, de, es, it, pt_BR)
- 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.
A live demo is available at conversejs.org
We use behavior-driven tests written with jasmine.js. They can run in your browser or in the command line via phantom.js.
