/**
 * A base interface in Slice. It allows to fetch an injectable object(s) mapped from specified resource or
 * path. It resembles Guice com.google.inject.Injector in being used for fetching objects of different classes
 * but it is closely tied to Slice because it also support mappings of requested objects with data obtained
 * from specified resources.
 * 
 * ModelProvider can be also injected directly to your models, so that you can read a model from an arbitrary
 * resource or path, e.g.:
 * 
 * 
 *  {@literal @}SliceResource
 *  public class OrderModel {
 * 
 *    private final static String CONFIGURATION_PATH = "/content/app/configuration/jcr:content/currency";
 *    private final ModelProvider modelProvider;
 * 
 *    {@literal @}JcrProperty
 *    private int value;
 * 
 *    {@literal @}Inject
 *    public OrderModel(ModelProvider modelProvider) {
 *      this.modelProvider = modelProvider;
 *    }
 * 
 *    public int getValue() {
 *      Currency currency = modelProvider.get(Currency.class, CONFIGURATION_PATH);
 *      return formatToCurrency(value, currency);
 *    }
 *  ...
 *  }
 * 
* * All methods of ModelProvider are thread safe * */ @ProviderType public interface ModelProvider { /** * Instantiates an object of specified type using Guice injector. Additionally, Slice remembers the * resource of specified path internally, so it can be either injected or used for mapping of objects * annotated with {@link SliceResource}. Mapping is triggered automatically by Slice (with use of * {@link Mapper}), so if the specified class is annotated with {@link SliceResource} it will be mapped * from specified resource.
*
* Please note that objects which are injected to instantiated one, can also leverage specified resource, * so they can also be mapped automatically. Let's consider an example. * *
	 *  {@literal @}SliceResource
	 *  public class Order {
	 *    {@literal @}JcrProperty
	 *    String orderProperty;
	 *    
	 *    {@literal @}Inject
	 *    public Order(Currency currency) {
	 *    ..
	 *    }
	 *  ..
	 *  }
	 *  
	 *  {@literal @}SliceResource
	 *  public class Currency {
	 *    {@literal @}JcrProperty
	 *    String currencyProperty;
	 *   ..
	 *  }
	 *  ..
	 *  modelProvider.get(Order.class, "/content/app/orders/order1");
	 * 
* * In above execution, both Order and Currency objects will be mapped from resource defined by * /content/app/orders/order1. It means that the above code expects the resource to contain two * properties: orderProperty, currencyProperty.
*
* It is possible to use absolute and relative (with "./" prefix) paths in recursive calls. All get * methods are invoked with {@link Context} that was used to create this ModelProvider. Example: * *
	 *  modelProvider.get(Order.class, "/content/app/orders/order1");
	 *   
	 *  public class Order {
	 *    {@literal @}Inject
	 *    public Order(ModelProvider modelProvider) {
	 *       modelProvider.get(Currency.class, "./currency");
	 *    }
	 *  }
	 * 
* * In above case, Currency object will be mapped from a resource defined by * /content/app/orders/order1/currency. * * @param type of object to be created * @param type class of object to be created * @param path Path to a resource which will be used to map @SliceResource objects * @return instantiated object of specified type.
