/**
 * Base class for Catalyst native modules whose implementations are written in Java. Default
 * implementations for {@link #initialize} and {@link #onCatalystInstanceDestroy} are provided for
 * convenience.  Subclasses which override these don't need to call {@code super} in case of
 * overriding those methods as implementation of those methods is empty.
 *
 * BaseJavaModules can be linked to Fragments' lifecycle events, {@link CatalystInstance} creation
 * and destruction, by being called on the appropriate method when a life cycle event occurs.
 *
 * Native methods can be exposed to JS with {@link ReactMethod} annotation. Those methods may
 * only use limited number of types for their arguments:
 * 1/ primitives (boolean, int, float, double
 * 2/ {@link String} mapped from JS string
 * 3/ {@link ReadableArray} mapped from JS Array
 * 4/ {@link ReadableMap} mapped from JS Object
 * 5/ {@link Callback} mapped from js function and can be used only as a last parameter or in the
 * case when it express success & error callback pair as two last arguments respecively.
 *
 * All methods exposed as native to JS with {@link ReactMethod} annotation must return
 * {@code void}.
 *
 * Please note that it is not allowed to have multiple methods annotated with {@link ReactMethod}
 * with the same name.
