+ * Provides field and instance definitions for the current runtime environment.
+ *
+ * A Drupal\field\FieldInfo object is created and statically persisted through
+ * the request by the field_info_cache() function. The object properties act as
+ * a "static cache" of fields and instances definitions.
+ *
+ * The preferred way to access definitions is through the getBundleInstances()
+ * method, which keeps cache entries per bundle, storing both fields and
+ * instances for a given bundle. Fields used in multiple bundles are duplicated
+ * in several cache entries, and are merged into a single list in the memory
+ * cache. Cache entries are loaded for bundles as a whole, optimizing memory
+ * and CPU usage for the most common pattern of iterating over all instances of
+ * a bundle rather than accessing a single instance.
+ *
+ * The getFields() and getInstances() methods, which return all existing field
+ * and instance definitions, are kept mainly for backwards compatibility, and
+ * should be avoided when possible, since they load and persist in memory a
+ * potentially large array of information. In many cases, the lightweight
+ * getFieldMap() method should be preferred.
