+======================
+Plugin system overview
+======================
+
+The workflow of sending a request and parsing a response is driven by Guzzle's event system, which is powered by the
+`Symfony2 Event Dispatcher component <http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/event_dispatcher/introduction.html>`_.
+
+Any object in Guzzle that emits events will implement the ``Guzzle\Common\HasEventDispatcher`` interface. You can add
+event subscribers directly to these objects using the ``addSubscriber()`` method, or you can grab the
+``Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventDispatcher`` object owned by the object using ``getEventDispatcher()`` and
+add a listener or event subscriber.
+
+Adding event subscribers to clients
+-----------------------------------
+
+Any event subscriber or event listener attached to the EventDispatcher of a ``Guzzle\Http\Client`` or
+``Guzzle\Service\Client`` object will automatically be attached to all request objects created by the client. This
+allows you to attach, for example, a HistoryPlugin to a client object, and from that point on, every request sent
+through that client will utilize the HistoryPlugin.
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+ use Guzzle\Plugin\History\HistoryPlugin;
+ use Guzzle\Service\Client;
+
+ $client = new Client();
+
+ // Create a history plugin and attach it to the client
+ $history = new HistoryPlugin();
+ $client->addSubscriber($history);
+
+ // Create and send a request. This request will also utilize the HistoryPlugin
+ $client->get('http://httpbin.org')->send();
+
+ // Echo out the last sent request by the client
+ echo $history->getLastRequest();
+
+.. tip::
+
+ :doc:`Create event subscribers <creating-plugins>`, or *plugins*, to implement reusable logic that can be
+ shared across clients. Event subscribers are also easier to test than anonymous functions.
+
+Pre-Built plugins
+-----------------
+
+Guzzle provides easy to use request plugins that add behavior to requests based on signal slot event notifications
+powered by the Symfony2 Event Dispatcher component.
