/**
* The package {@code javafx.beans} contains the interfaces that
* define the most generic form of observability. All other classes in
* the JavaFX library, that are observable, extend the {@link javafx.beans.Observable}
* interface.
* An implementation of {@code Observable} allows to attach an
* {@link javafx.beans.InvalidationListener}. The contentBinding gets notified every time
* the {@code Observable} may have changed. Typical implementations of
* {@code Observable} are all properties, all bindings, {@link
* javafx.collections.ObservableList}, and {@link
* javafx.collections.ObservableMap}.
* An {@code InvalidationListener} will get no further information,
* e.g. it will not get the old and the new value of a property. If you
* need more information consider using a {@link
* javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener} for properties and bindings, {@link
* javafx.collections.ListChangeListener} for {@code ObservableLists} or
* {@link javafx.collections.MapChangeListener} for {@code ObservableMap}
* instead.
