Overview
Vendored Google Closure Library module providing a disposable implementation of a custom listenable/event target with full W3C EventTarget-like support, used by Selenium JavaScript atoms.
Description
goog.events.EventTarget is a vendored copy of the Google Closure Library module. It provides an implementation of goog.events.Listenable with full W3C EventTarget-like support including capture/bubble mechanism, stopping event propagation, and preventing default actions. It can be subclassed to turn any class into a Listenable, and supports event bubbling to parent event targets. Selenium uses this as part of its JavaScript atom infrastructure for browser automation commands.
Usage
This module is consumed internally by Selenium's JavaScript atoms build system. It is not imported directly by end users.
