An IRC bot performing a simple task. An IRC bot is a set of scripts or an independent program that connects to Internet Relay Chat as a client, and so appears to other IRC users as another user. An IRC bot differs from a regular client in that instead of providing interactive access to IRC for a human user, it performs automated functions.
Plouf's Java IRC (PJIRC) [1] is a web-based open-source IRC client that is written in Java. [2] Any web browser that supports the Java Runtime Environment, or an alternative Java interpreter, can use the applet. [3] Many IRC networks have a public installation of the applet for their network. [2]

Unlike typical web-based IRC clients, Mibbit makes use of a client–server design model. [7] The user interface is written in HTML and JavaScript using Ajax programming techniques. The client's backend is written completely in Java [7] and operates independently of the web server in a standalone fashion on the Mibbit server. [2]

Once established, DCC connections bypass the IRC network and servers, allowing for all sorts of data to be transferred between clients including files and direct chat sessions.
