The Context object provides the polyglot context to allow the guest language code to run in the host language. A polyglot context represents the global runtime state of all installed and permitted languages. Please refer to the JavaScript embedded code in Java section for more details on how to use this object to run the code.
The Context object helps provide fine-grained access control. The access control can be controlled with ContextBuilder. Please refer to the JavaScript embedded code in Java section for more details on how to use this object to run the code.
