[](https://travis-ci.org/strophe/strophejs)
Strophe.js is a JavaScript library for speaking XMPP via BOSH
([XEP 124](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0124.html)
and [XEP 206](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0206.html)) and WebSockets
([RFC 7395](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7395)).
Its primary purpose is to enable web-based, real-time XMPP applications that
run in any browser.
The book [Professional XMPP Programming with JavaScript and jQuery](http://professionalxmpp.com)
covers Strophe in detail in the context of web applications.
