Notes

An event is a point in time.

An event can be hooked:

  • On
  • Before
  • After

An event specifies when it can be hooked; e.g. only On, only Before, only After or a combination of these.

An event is Serializable (to JSON).

An event should be "small"; i.e. limit serialized payload size; it should contain references (identifiers) so that the extra data can be retrieved with an extra method call.

For instance an event may contain an identifier to a result instead of the result. If the listener needs the entire result, it will send a request for that result identifier.
