| * injection pattern from its cousin, service locator. |
| * |
| * <p>The {@code Injector} API has a few additional features: it allows |

| * offers programmatic introspection to support tool development. |

| * <li>A {@code Provider<T>} for each binding of type {@code T} |
| * <li>The {@link java.util.logging.Logger} for the class being injected |
| * <li>The {@link Stage} in which the Injector was created |
| * </ul> |
| * |
| * Injectors are created using the facade class {@link Guice}. |
