java.lang.Object
- org.springframework.core.io.support.SpringFactoriesLoader

```
public abstract class SpringFactoriesLoader
extends Object
```
General purpose factory loading mechanism for internal use within the framework.
The SpringFactoriesLoader loads and instantiates factories of a given type from "META-INF/spring.factories" files. The file should be in Properties format, where the key is the fully qualified interface or abstract class name, and the value is a comma-separated list of implementation class names. For instance:
```
example.MyService=example.MyServiceImpl1,example.MyServiceImpl2
```
where MyService is the name of the interface, and MyServiceImpl1 and MyServiceImpl2 are the two implementations.
