# Piper
## A protocol for driving audio feature extractors
Piper is a protocol for audio analysis and feature extraction. That
is, the task of processing sampled audio data to produce descriptive
output (measurements or semantic observations).
Piper defines a data schema and API that can be used for remote audio
feature extraction services, or for feature extractors loaded directly
into a host application.
Piper is intended to be used
* as a programmatic interface for audio analysis and feature
extraction methods for web applications and servers
* to make [Vamp plugins](http://vamp-plugins.org), and feature
extractors written in other languages such as Javascript, available
through a service API or as loadable modules
The Piper schema is language- and serialisation-independent and the
API is transport-independent. We provide initial implementations using
JSON in Javascript and C++, and using Cap'n Proto in C++.
This repository contains the basic Piper schema. Implementations and
utilities can be found in neighbouring repositories.
The basic Piper schema is now in "shipping" state: it may be extended
in future, but always in ways that retain compatibility with existing
systems.
