Interface StorageService

All Known Subinterfaces:
DeletableStorageService
All Known Implementing Classes:
VolatileStorageService
@NonNullByDefault public interface StorageService
The StorageService provides instances of Storages which are meant as a means for generic storage of key-value pairs. You can think of different StorageServices that store these key-value pairs differently. One can think of e.g in-memory or in-database Storages and many more. This StorageService decides which kind of Storage is returned on request. It is meant to be injected into service consumers with the need for storing generic key-value pairs like the ManagedXXXProviders.
