public interface Factory

Base interface for all factories. Factories can be grouped in two categories:

• Authority factories creates objects from a compact string defined by an authority.
• Object factories allows applications to make objects that cannot be created by an authority factory. This factory is very flexible, whereas the authority factory is easier to use.
