# Twilio Conversations Client SDKs

Twilio provides client-side Conversations SDKs for browser-based web applications, as well as for native iOS and Android applications.

## JavaScript SDK

The latest version of the JavaScript SDK for Conversations is available on Twilio's CDN. To include it on your web page, [follow the instructions in the SDK documentation](https://sdk.twilio.com/js/conversations/latest/docs/index.html#cdn).

The `Twilio.Conversations` namespace will then be available in the window scope of your JavaScript application.

The JS Conversations SDK is also [available from NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@twilio/conversations).

The app demonstrates a basic conversations client application with the ability to create and join conversations, add other participants into the conversations, and exchange messages.

> \[!NOTE]

>
> ```java
> android {
>   ...
>   compileOptions {
>     sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
>     targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
>   }
>   ...
> }
> ```
