| /** |
| * Fulfills requests for the object instances that make up your application, |
| * always ensuring that these instances are properly injected before they are |
| * returned. The {@code Injector} is the heart of the Guice framework, |
| * although you don't typically interact with it directly very often. This |
| * "behind-the-scenes" operation is what distinguishes the dependency |
| * injection pattern from its cousin, service locator. |
| * |
| * <p>The {@code Injector} API has a few additional features: it allows |
| * pre-constructed instances to have their fields and methods injected and |
| * offers programmatic introspection to support tool development. |
| * |
| * <p>Contains several default bindings: |
| * |
| * <ul> |
| * <li>This {@link Injector} instance itself |
| * <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}. |
