Shared base class for streaming processing contexts used during reading and writing of Json content using Streaming API. This context is also exposed to applications: context object can be used by applications to get an idea of relative position of the parser/generator within json content being processed. This allows for some contextual processing: for example, output within Array context can differ from that of Object context.

Method for accessing currently active value being used by data-binding (as the source of streaming data to write, or destination of data being read), at this level in hierarchy.

Returns:Currently active value, if one has been assigned.
