## What it is
DPlayer is an open-source HTML5 video player library with built-in danmaku (bullet comment) support, written in JavaScript. It supports multiple streaming formats including HLS, FLV, MPEG DASH, and WebTorrent, plus features like screenshots, hotkeys, quality switching, thumbnails, and subtitles.

## Use cases
- embed a video player with danmaku comments on my website
- play HLS or DASH streams in the browser
- add a bullet-comment overlay to HTML5 video
- play torrent videos directly in the browser
- add quality switching and subtitles to a web video player
- integrate a video player into WordPress or Hexo

## When to choose
- you need danmaku/bullet-comment support in a web video player
- you need broad streaming format support (HLS, FLV, DASH, WebTorrent) in one player
- you want a lightweight, MIT-licensed player with CMS plugins for WordPress, Typecho, Hexo, etc.

## When to avoid
- you need a full commercial-grade video platform with DRM or analytics
- you don't need danmaku and prefer a more actively maintained player like Video.js or Plyr
- you need native mobile app playback rather than browser-based
