The Ports Framework

Ports is a Java framework for inter-component communication within a JVM process.

Core features:

• Very effective decoupling of components.
• Acts like a high-performance, type-safe enterprise service bus.
• Strong support for asynchronicity and parallelism.
• Declarative description of tests (in the manner of mocking frameworks).
• Fault injection.
• AOP-like features for monitoring, logging, or debugging.
• Built-in support for union types (Either and Either3), making error handling easier.

Ports requires at least Java 8.
