+Brief description of converse.js's dependencies
|
|
|
+-----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Converse.js relies on the following dependencies:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* [JQuery](http://jquery.com/) for DOM manipulation and [promises](http://api.jquery.com/promise/).
|
|
|
+* [moment.js](http://momentjs.com/) provides a better API for handling dates and times.
|
|
|
+* [Strophe.js](http://strophe.im/) maintains the XMPP session, is used to
|
|
|
+ build XMPP stanzas, to send them, and to register handlers for received stanzas.
|
|
|
+* [Underscore](http://underscorejs.org/) provides very useful utility functions.
|
|
|
+* [Backbone](http://backbonejs.org/) is used to model the data as Models and
|
|
|
+ Collections and to create Views that render the UI.
|
|
|
+* [backbone.overview](http://github.com/jcbrand/backbone.overview) provides
|
|
|
+ Overviews, which are to Views as Backbone Collections are to Models.
|
|
|
+* [pluggable.js](https://github.com/jcbrand/pluggable.js) is the plugin
|
|
|
+ architecture for Converse.js. It registers and initializes plugins and
|
|
|
+ allows existing attributes, functions and objects on converse.js to be
|
|
|
+ overridden inside plugins.
