+# Prefer `EventTarget` over `EventEmitter`
+
+<!-- Do not manually modify RULE_NOTICE part. Run: `npm run generate-rule-notices` -->
+<!-- RULE_NOTICE -->
+✅ *This rule is part of the [recommended](https://github.com/sindresorhus/eslint-plugin-unicorn#recommended-config) config.*
+<!-- /RULE_NOTICE -->
+
+While [`EventEmitter`](https://nodejs.org/api/events.html#class-eventemitter) is only available in Node.js, [`EventTarget`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget) is also available in *Deno* and browsers.
+
+This rule reduces the bundle size and makes your code more cross-platform friendly.
+
+See the [differences](https://nodejs.org/api/events.html#eventtarget-and-event-api) between `EventEmitter` and `EventTarget`.
+
+## Fail
+
+```js
+import {EventEmitter} from 'node:event';
+
+class Foo extends EventEmitter {}
+```
+
+```js
+const emitter = new EventEmitter();
+```
+
+## Pass
+
+```js
+class Foo extends EventTarget {}
+```
+
+```js
+const target = new EventTarget();
+```
