Emissary is a simple-to-use, no dependency, yet BLAZING FAST messaging library for decoupling messages (requests and events) and message handlers.
Emissary aims to take advantage of the simplicity of using the annotations for handlers (e.g. @RequestHandler/@EventHandler) without the drawbacks of reflection (slow).
What differentiates Emissary from other messaging/dispatch libraries? It takes advantage of java.lang.invoke.LambdaMetafactory to avoid the cost of invoking methods reflectively. This results in performance close to directly invoking the request handler and event handler methods.
~ 1000% more throughput compared to other similar libraries (Spring's ApplicationEventPublisher, Pipelinr, EventBus)
~ 90% faster compared to other similar libraries (Spring's ApplicationEventPublisher, Pipelinr, EventBus)

I always enjoy how low-tech this website is. Not necessarily great UX, but it's quaint.
