Context

type Context = object;

The base object that all contexts should extend.

The API specification allows this to be any object, but typically this is supposed to be a context data object adhering to the Context Data Specification.

This means that it must at least have a type property that indicates what type of data it represents, e.g. 'fdc3.contact'.

The type property of context objects is important for certain FDC3 operations, like Channel.getCurrentContext and DesktopAgent.addContextListener, which allows you to filter contexts by their type.
