Summary

In this chapter, we looked at the binding functionality, which allows us to simplify the logic of the components' interactions. We learned that every property of JavaFX can be monitored for changes and quickly hooked to other properties through binding calls.

The Binding API is another step forward Java makes to the usability of the functional languages. The first was the Java8 Streams API. They both allow us to build a complex logic sequentially without using excessive syntax such as anonymous class creation.

In the following chapter, we will review another important tool introduced by JavaFX—the markup description language FXML.
