Event based HTML applications made easy

Filed Under: JavaScript

Having spent a few years making Flex applications it was a bit of a shift to return to making HTML/CSS/JavaScript based applications. One of the things I really missed was the ability to create loosely coupled componenten using custom events.
You do have the option of using jQuery Custom Events, but without depending on a library there is no option of creating custom events in JavaScript. Custom events in jQuery have a slight performance hit and therefor it made sense to create a dead simple Publish Subscribe pattern implementation in JS.

Here are the requirements:

1. Light weight
2. No dependencies
3. Simple to use API
4. Test cases for all features
