## What it is
Hermes is a Java framework for Android that simplifies inter-process communication (IPC) by letting developers invoke methods in another process as if they were local calls. It uses annotation-based interfaces to expose remote classes, singletons, and callbacks, and includes garbage collection for remote instances.

## Use cases
- call methods across Android processes without writing AIDL
- share a singleton between two processes in an Android app
- send callbacks from one process to another over IPC
- simplify Android IPC for developers unfamiliar with Binder
- post events between processes with HermesEventBus

## When to avoid
- you need a modern, actively maintained IPC solution
- your project uses Kotlin-first or AndroidX-centric architectures where newer IPC tools fit better
- you only need simple messaging rather than remote method invocation

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: rpc, middleware
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, developer-tools
- platform: -
- tags: ipc, inter-process-communication, android, java, binder, cross-process-calls
