Backend API
===========

.. note::

    Currently this only documents the API that is available for use by
    frontends like :class:`mopidy.mpd.handler`, and not what is required to
    implement your own backend. :class:`mopidy.backends.BaseBackend` and its
    controllers implements many of these methods in a matter that should be
    independent of most concrete backend implementations, so you should
    generally just implement or override a few of these methods yourself to
    create a new backend with a complete feature set.
