The `IInstanceProvider` interface has two methods, `getInstance` and `canProvide`. `getInstance` returns an instance of the specified class, and `canProvide` checks if the instance provider is able to return an instance of as given class. Implemented providers --------------------- - `DefaultInstanceProvider` This default provider tries to generate instances with the public constructor with the least number of parameters and default values (null for objects). - `CopyConstructorInstanceProvider` This provider tries to generate a copy of an instance using the copy constructor pattern. To generate an instance of a class, a reference instance need to be provided. - `MultipleInstanceProvider` This provider is used to chain several providers. It has a list of provider and successively tries to generate an instance with each of them. Writing an instance provider ---------------------------- To write your own instance provider, you only need to implement the `IInstanceProvider` class and its two methods, `getInstance` and `canProvide`.
