## Intent
|
|
|
|
Allows send of messages/events between components of an application
|
|
without them needing to know about each other. They only need to know
|
|
about the type of the message/event being sent.

## Applicability
|
|
Use Data Bus pattern when
|
|
|
|
* you want your components to decide themselves which messages/events they want to receive
|
|
* you want to have many-to-many communication
|
|
* you want your components to know nothing about each other
|
|
|

## Related Patterns

|
Data Bus is similar to
|
|
|
|
* Mediator pattern with Data Bus Members deciding for themselves if they want to accept any given message
|
|
* Observer pattern but supporting many-to-many communication
|
|
* Publish/Subscribe pattern with the Data Bus decoupling the publisher and the subscriber
