== About Deejayd == 

Deejayd is a media player daemon (like [http://www.musicpd.org/ MPD] or [http://xmms2.xmms.org/ XMMS2]). 

It is written in [http://python.org/ Python] and based on [http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ Twisted] for networking and [http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ GStreamer] or [http://xinehq.de/ Xine] for multimedia playback.

Deejayd uses its own protocol consisting in the exchange of messages using JSON-RPC protocol. See the [wiki:Clients Clients] page to get a list of software explicitely written to use this new protocol.
