Candy is a JavaScript-based web chat client for XMPP (Jabber) focused on real-time multi-user chat rooms. It is highly customizable via plugins and event hooks, and works in all major browsers.
Use cases
- add a web-based group chat to an XMPP server
- embed multi-user chat rooms in a website
- let users join MUC rooms and private conversations from a browser
- moderate chat rooms with kick and ban from the web
- self-host a lightweight community chat client
When to choose
- you already run an XMPP server with HTTP binding and need a browser client
- you want a simple, plugin-extensible multi-user chat frontend
- you need to support very old browsers like IE7-IE9
When to avoid
- you need a maintained project - the README states it is dead and unmaintained
- you want modern chat features like end-to-end encryption or video
- you are not using XMPP as your chat backend
