| /** |
| * A mapping from a key (type and optional annotation) to the strategy for getting instances of the |
| * type. This interface is part of the introspection API and is intended primarily for use by |
| * tools. |
| * |
| * <p>Bindings are created in several ways: |
| * <ul> |
| * <li>Explicitly in a module, via {@code bind()} and {@code bindConstant()} |
| * statements: |
| * <pre> |
| * bind(Service.class).annotatedWith(Red.class).to(ServiceImpl.class); |
| * bindConstant().annotatedWith(ServerHost.class).to(args[0]);</pre></li> |
| * <li>Implicitly by the Injector by following a type's {@link ImplementedBy |
| * pointer} {@link ProvidedBy annotations} or by using its {@link Inject annotated} or |
| * default constructor.</li> |
| * <li>By converting a bound instance to a different type.</li> |
| * <li>For {@link Provider providers}, by delegating to the binding for the provided type.</li> |
| * </ul> |
| * |
| * |
| * <p>They exist on both modules and on injectors, and their behaviour is different for each: |
| * <ul> |
| * <li><strong>Module bindings</strong> are incomplete and cannot be used to provide instances. |
| * This is because the applicable scopes and interceptors may not be known until an injector |
| * is created. From a tool's perspective, module bindings are like the injector's source |
| * code. They can be inspected or rewritten, but this analysis must be done statically.</li> |
| * <li><strong>Injector bindings</strong> are complete and valid and can be used to provide |
| * instances. From a tools' perspective, injector bindings are like reflection for an |
| * injector. They have full runtime information, including the complete graph of injections |
| * necessary to satisfy a binding.</li> |
| * </ul> |
| * |
| * @param <T> the bound type. The injected is always assignable to this type. |
