## Interface BeanExpressionResolver

- All Known Implementing Classes:
    StandardBeanExpressionResolver

      public interface BeanExpressionResolver

  Strategy interface for resolving a value through evaluating it as an expression, if applicable.

  A raw `BeanFactory` does not contain a default implementation of this strategy. However, `ApplicationContext` implementations will provide expression support out of the box.
