/**
* Builds the graphs of objects that make up your application. The injector tracks the dependencies
* for each type and uses bindings to inject them. This is the core of Guice, although you rarely
* interact with it directly. This "behind-the-scenes" operation is what distinguishes dependency
* injection from its cousin, the service locator pattern.
*
* Contains several default bindings:
*
* - This {@link Injector} instance itself
*
- A {@code Provider
} for each binding of type {@code T}
* - The {@link java.util.logging.Logger} for the class being injected
*
- The {@link Stage} in which the Injector was created
*
*
* Injectors are created using the facade class {@link Guice}.
*
* An injector can also {@link #injectMembers(Object) inject the dependencies} of
* already-constructed instances. This can be used to interoperate with objects created by other
* frameworks or services.
