Introduction

IService is the interface for the consumer side of the service stack. Service implementation processes requests by passing them through handlers which participate in building the result object.

// Create service
IService service = Services.Create(ServiceHandlers.Instance);
// Query for a type
Type type = service.GetRequired<TypeRequest, Type>("System.String");

Service implementations are accessible from various interfaces:

IServiceProvider

    ├── IServiceT
    │   └── IServiceOf<Response>
    │       └── IService<Request, Response>

            // Query for a type
            Type type = service.GetRequired<TypeRequest, Type>("System.String");
            // </01>
            // Print service
            Console.WriteLine(service.ToString());
        }
