Detailed Description

A base INotification implementation.

PureMVC does not rely upon underlying event models such as the one provided with in AppKit or UIKit

The Observer Pattern as implemented within PureMVC exists to support event-driven communication between the application and the actors of the MVC triad.

Notifications are not meant to be a replacement for Events in AppKit or UIKit. Generally, IMediator implementors place event listeners on their view components, which they then handle in the usual way. This may lead to the broadcast of Notifications to trigger ICommands or to communicate with other IMediators. IProxy and ICommand instances communicate with each other and IMediators by broadcasting INotifications.
