What is Bonjour by Apple?

Bonjour is a program that allows devices to find each other automatically without the need to configure a DNS server or enter an IP address. The program also allows users to find, publish and fix network services with an interface that is compatible with Cocoa, Ruby and Python programming languages.

People can also download the program at CNET.com. The software is automatically included on the Mac operating system and iOS, which operates on iPads and iPhones. Bonjour for Windows includes a feature to find HTTP servers with Internet Explorer. Some software programs, including iTunes and Safari, automatically install Bonjour on computers that run Microsoft Windows.
