## Interface Callback<P,​R>

- Type Parameters:
    `P` - The type of the argument provided to the `call` method.
    `R` - The type of the return type of the `call` method.
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    `MapValueFactory`, `PropertyValueFactory`, `TreeItemPropertyValueFactory`
  Functional Interface:
    This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

      @FunctionalInterface
      public interface Callback<P,​R>

  The Callback interface is designed to allow for a common, reusable interface to exist for defining APIs that requires a call back in certain situations.

  Callback is defined with two generic parameters: the first parameter specifies the type of the object passed in to the `call` method, with the second parameter specifying the return type of the method.
