What is ContextAPI?

The Context API is a React feature that allows you to share data between components without explicitly passing props through every level of the component tree. It's useful for providing data that is considered "global" for a tree of React components, such as current user, theme, or preferred language. It primarily involves creating a context object, a provider component to supply the data, and a consumer component (or `useContext` hook) to access the data within the tree.
