``Converse.js`` implements an XMPP_ based instant messaging client in the browser.

+The ultimate goal is to enable anyone to add Jabber chat functionality to their websites,
|
|
|
+regardless of the server backend.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Currently this is not yet the case, as the code makes ajax calls to the (Plone) backend
|
|
|
+to fetch user info. This should be replaced with VCards (we're currently
|
|
|
+working on it).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This library is therefore not (yet) usable independently.
