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.

Note that "current value" is NOT populated (or used) by Streaming parser or generator; it is only used by higher-level data-binding functionality. The reason it is included here is that it can be stored and accessed hierarchically, and gets passed through data-binding.

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

Optional method that may be used to access starting location of this context: for example, in case of JSON `Object` context, offset at which `[` token was read or written. Often used for error reporting purposes. Implementations that do not keep track of such location are expected to return JsonLocation.NA; this is what the default implementation does.
Returns:Location pointing to the point where the context start marker was found (or written); never `null`.

NOTE: demoted from JsonReadContext in 2.9, to allow use for "non-standard" read contexts.
