/**
 * UrlGeneratorInterface is the interface that all URL generator classes must implement.
 *
 * The constants in this interface define the different types of resource references that
 * are declared in RFC 3986: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986
 * We are using the term "URL" instead of "URI" as this is more common in web applications
 * and we do not need to distinguish them as the difference is mostly semantical and
 * less technical. Generating URIs, i.e. representation-independent resource identifiers,
 * is also possible.

   * Parameters that reference placeholders in the route pattern will substitute them in the

   *
   * When the passed reference type cannot be generated for the route because it requires a different
   * host or scheme than the current one, the method will return a more comprehensive reference
   * that includes the required params. For example, when you call this method with $referenceType = ABSOLUTE_PATH
   * but the route requires the https scheme whereas the current scheme is http, it will instead return an
   * ABSOLUTE_URL with the https scheme and the current host. This makes sure the generated URL matches
   * the route in any case.
   *
   * If there is no route with the given name, the generator must throw the RouteNotFoundException.

   *
   * @return string The generated URL
   *
   * @throws RouteNotFoundException              If the named route doesn't exist
   * @throws MissingMandatoryParametersException When some parameters are missing that are mandatory for the route
   * @throws InvalidParameterException           When a parameter value for a placeholder is not correct because
   *                                             it does not match the requirement
