Observable Objects

Just like the Nodes, there are a large number of classes and interfaces that extend from the Observable interface. This includes the ObservableList and Property interfaces which used extensively in just about any JavaFX application.

Observables are used in two ways. The most important is Bindings, the other is ChangeListeners.
