/**
 * A set of convenience static methods for validating GeoAPI implementations. Every
 * {@code validate} method defined in this class delegate their work to one of many
 * {@link Validator} objects in various packages. This class is especially convenient
 * when used with {@code static import} statements.
 *
 * <h2>Customization</h2>
 * To override some validation process on a <em>system-wide</em> basis, vendors can either
 * assign a new {@link ValidatorContainer} instance to the {@link #DEFAULT} static field, or
 * modify the fields ({@link ValidatorContainer#cs cs}, {@link ValidatorContainer#crs crs},
 * <i>etc.</i>) in the existing instance. The following example alters the existing instance
 * in order to accept non-standard axis names:
 *
 * {@snippet lang="java" :
 * Validators.DEFAULT.crs.enforceStandardNames = false;
 * }
 *
 * <p>To override some validation process without changing the system-wide setting,
 * vendors can create a new instance of {@link ValidatorContainer} and invoke its
 * non-static methods from the vendor's test cases.</p>
