Description

Ajax IM is a web-based instant messaging framework. It can be integrated with a website's existing software to allow communication between users.

At it's inception, it was built solely with a PHP backend. Since then, it has developed and grown, being rewritten in early 2010 to use almost purely JavaScript (phasing out the PHP).
