This package contains the core API for PicoContainer, a compact container for working with the
dependency injection pattern.
When you use
PicoContainer for dependency injection, you create a new instance of {@link org.picocontainer.MutablePicoContainer},
register classes (and possibly
{@link org.picocontainer.ComponentAdapter}s and component instances created through other means).
Object instances can then be accessed through the {@link org.picocontainer.PicoContainer} interface. The container will create all
instances for you automatically, resolving their dependencies and order of instantiation. The default container implementation is
the {@link org.picocontainer.DefaultPicoContainer} class.
An extensive user guide,
a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) with answers and a lot more information is available from the
PicoContainer website. You can also find various extensions, wrappers
and utility libraries that are based on this core API there.
