Package Summary Overview Summary

### class:ServiceLoader.Provider [NONE]
- Type Parameters: `S` - The service type All Superinterfaces: `Supplier<S>` Enclosing class: ServiceLoader<S>
                                                                                      public static interface ServiceLoader.Provider<S>
      extends Supplier<S>
Represents a service provider located by `ServiceLoader`. When using a loader's `stream()` method then the elements are of type `Provider`. This allows processing to select or filter on the provider class without instantiating the provider. Since: 9

### method:type() [NONE]
- #### type
                                                                                                      Class<? extends S> type()
Returns the provider type. There is no guarantee that this type is accessible or that it has a public no-args constructor. The `get()` method should be used to obtain the provider instance. When a module declares that the provider class is created by a provider factory then this method returns the return type of its public static "`provider()`" method. Returns: The provider type

### method:get() [NONE]
- #### get
                                                                                                      S get()
Returns an instance of the provider. Specified by: `get` in interface `Supplier<S>` Returns: An instance of the provider. Throws: `ServiceConfigurationError` - If the service provider cannot be instantiated, or in the case of a provider factory, the public static "`provider()`" method returns `null` or throws an error or exception. The `ServiceConfigurationError` will carry an appropriate cause where possible.
