Class	Description
Aggregate	An object with dependencies.
AmbiguousReductionException	A ReductionException indicating that many contextual instances could not be reduced to one.
Assignment<R>	An assignment of a contextual reference to an AttributedElement, usually as completed by a Request.
AttributedElement	A pairing of an Element with a List of Attributess.
AttributedType	A pairing of a TypeMirror with a List of Attributess.
AutoCloseableRegistry	A reigstry of AutoCloseable instances that itself is AutoCloseable.
Bean<I>	A (Constable) pairing of an Id with a Factory.
BeanException	A RuntimeException indicating that an error has occurred in code in this package.
BeanQualifiersMatcher	A Matcher encapsulating CDI-compatible bean qualifier matching rules.
BeanReduction<I>	A pairing of an AttributedType and a Bean resulting from a reduction.
Beans	A Selectable and Reducible implementation that works with Bean and AttributedType instances.
BeanTypeList	An immutable AbstractList of TypeMirrors that contains only legal bean types, sorted in a specific manner.
BeanTypeMatcher	An AbstractTypeMatcher encapsulating CDI-compatible type matching rules.
BeanTypes	A utility for working with bean types.
Constant<I>	A Factory that returns its singleton from its Constant.create(Request) method.
Creation<I>	A representation of a Factory's creation activity.
CreationException	A BeanException indicating a problem with creation.
DefaultAutoCloseableRegistry	A straightforward AutoCloseableRegistry implementation.
DestructionException	A BeanException indicating a problem with destruction.
DisposableReference<R>	An AutoCloseable WeakReference that formally disposes of referents after they have been cleared by the Java Virtual Machine during garbage collection.
Factory<I>	A creator and destroyer of contextual instances of a particular type.
Id	An identifier for a Bean.
IdMatcher	A Matcher that tests an Id to see if it matches an AttributedType.
InterceptorBindings	A utility class providing methods that work with interceptor bindings.
InterceptorBindingsMatcher	A Matcher encapsulating CDI-compatible interceptor binding matching rules.
Ranked	An interface whose implementations can be ranked numerically in descending order (the highest or greatest rank outranks, or wins, or trumps, or comes first).
RankedReducer<C,T extends Ranked>	A Reducer implementation that works with Ranked objects.
Reducer<C,T>	A functional interface whose implementations can either reduce a supplied List of elements representing a successful selection to a single element normally drawn or calculated from the selection according to some criteria, or fail gracefully in the face of ambiguity by invoking a supplied failure handler.
Reducible<C,T>	A functional interface whose implementations can reduce an unspecified notional collection of elements to a single element according to some criteria.
ReductionException	A BeanException concerning problematic reductions.
Request<I>	A request for a contextual reference of a particular attributed type, along with functionality to help fulfil the request.
Selectable<C,T>	A notional list of elements from which sublists may be selected according to some criteria.
UnsatisfiedReductionException	A ReductionException indicating that a reduction did not occur because there were no elements to reduce.
