BindingResult: General interface that represents binding results.
Errors: Stores and exposes information about data-binding and validation errors for a specific object.
MessageCodesResolver: Strategy interface for building message codes from validation error codes.
Validator: A validator for application-specific objects.

Class Summary
AbstractBindingResult: Abstract implementation of the `BindingResult` interface and its super-interface `Errors`.
AbstractErrors: Abstract implementation of the `Errors` interface.
AbstractPropertyBindingResult: Abstract base class for `BindingResult` implementations that work with Spring's `PropertyAccessor` mechanism.
BeanPropertyBindingResult: Default implementation of the `Errors` and `BindingResult` interfaces, for the registration and evaluation of binding errors on JavaBean objects.
BindingResultUtils: Convenience methods for looking up BindingResults in a model Map.
DataBinder: Binder that allows for setting property values onto a target object, including support for validation and binding result analysis.
DefaultBindingErrorProcessor: Default `BindingErrorProcessor` implementation.
DefaultMessageCodesResolver: Default implementation of the `MessageCodesResolver` interface.
DirectFieldBindingResult: Special implementation of the Errors and BindingResult interfaces, supporting registration and evaluation of binding errors on value objects.
FieldError: Encapsulates a field error, that is, a reason for rejecting a specific field value.
MapBindingResult: Map-based implementation of the BindingResult interface, supporting registration and evaluation of binding errors on Map attributes.
ObjectError: Encapsulates an object error, that is, a global reason for rejecting an object.
ValidationUtils: Utility class offering convenient methods for invoking a `Validator` and for rejecting empty fields.
