20 * <p>
21 * An implementation of the {@code Synchronizer} interface which does not perform any synchronization.
22 * </p>
23 * <p>
24 * This class is the option of choice for applications that do not access configuration concurrently. All methods
25 * required by the {@code Synchronizer} interface are just empty dummies. Therefore, this class does not have any
26 * synchronization overhead. Of course, configurations using this {@code Synchronizer} implementation are not
27 * thread-safe!
28 * </p>
29 * <p>
30 * Implementation note: This class is an enumeration because only a single instance needs to exist. This instance can be
31 * shared between arbitrary configurations.
32 * </p>
