\u001B[1mDESCRIPTION\u001B[0m
Put simply, Guice alleviates the need for factories and the use of new
in your Java code. Think of Guice's @Inject as the new new. You will
still need to write factories in some cases, but your code will not depend
directly on them. Your code will be easier to change, unit test and reuse in
other contexts.
Guice embraces Java's type safe nature, especially when it comes to features
introduced in Java 5 such as generics and annotations. You might think of
Guice as filling in missing features for core Java. Ideally, the language
itself would provide most of the same features, but until such a language
comes along, we have Guice.
Guice helps you design better APIs, and the Guice API itself sets a good
example. Guice is not a kitchen sink. We justify each feature with at least
three use cases. When in doubt, we leave it out. We build general functionality
which enables you to extend Guice rather than adding every feature to the core
framework.
Guice aims to make development and debugging easier and faster, not harder and
slower. In that vein, Guice steers clear of surprises and magic. You should be
able to understand code with or without tools, though tools can make things even
easier. When errors do occur, Guice goes the extra mile to generate helpful
messages.
