Execution Context

Execution context in Radiator Server defines the set of variables and their structure that are available during the processing of a request. It provides access to various attributes related to the request, user, session, and environment, allowing for dynamic handling and customisation of request processing. Execution context is created at the beginning of request processing and is passed through the execution pipelines.
