[Converse](https://conversejs.org) is a web based [XMPP/Jabber](https://xmpp.org) chat client.

You can either use it as a webchat app, or you can integrate it into your own website.

It's 100% client-side JavaScript, HTML and CSS and the only backend required
is a modern XMPP server.

Please support this project via [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/jcbrand) or [Liberapay](https://liberapay.com/jcbrand)

## Demo

Converse is hosted and can be used at [https://conversejs.org](https://conversejs.org).

A demo showing anonymous login is available at [https://conversejs.org/demo/anonymous.html](https://conversejs.org/demo/anonymous.html)
and a demo which shows how you can embed a single chat room into a page is
avialable at [https://conversejs.org/demo/embedded.html](https://conversejs.org/demo/embedded.html).

## Documentation

The developer/integrator documentation can be found at [https://conversejs.org/docs/html](https://conversejs.org/docs/html).

You'll probably want to begin with the [quickstart guide](https://conversejs.org/docs/html/quickstart.html),
which shows you how to use the CDN (content delivery network) to quickly get a demo up and running.
