greenrobot/EventBus
This system is a high-performance, cross-platform event bus library designed for Java and Android environments. It facilitates asynchronous message passing and subscriber management through a robust API that supports both runtime reflection and compile-time annotation processing for optimized performance. The library provides platform-specific implementations for Android's main thread handling while maintaining compatibility with standard Java environments. Comprehensive test suites and performance benchmarks ensure reliability across different execution contexts.

How it got here
2012 · Gradle migration and project modernization
The project underwent a significant build system migration to Gradle, introducing a multi-module structure and modernizing Android project configurations. This period also involved cleaning up legacy code, removing deprecated APIs, and adding comprehensive documentation and licensing files to standardize the development workflow.

2014–2021 · Android decoupling and annotation processing
This period focused on decoupling the EventBus library from Android-specific dependencies to support non-Android environments, while simultaneously introducing an annotation processor to generate subscriber metadata at build time. The work included adding comprehensive test suites for both Android and Java environments, as well as updating build tooling and documentation styles.

About this page
- The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
- The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 6 August 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
- Measured at commit 0194926b3b — the exact code this score is about.
- Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.19. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
