zend-eventmanager is designed for the following use cases:

- Implementing simple subject/observer patterns.
- Implementing Aspect-Oriented designs.
- Implementing event-driven architectures.

The basic architecture allows you to attach and detach listeners to named events, both on a per-instance basis as well as via shared collections; trigger events; and interrupt execution of listeners.

- File issues at
- Documentation is at

For migration from version 2 to version 3, please [read the migration documentation](https://zendframework.github.io/zend-eventmanager/migration/intro/).
