What is React Context API?

The React Context API is a way to manage state globally within a React application without prop drilling. It provides a way to share values like a theme, user authentication status, or preferred language between components at different nesting levels. It involves creating a Context object, a Provider component to wrap the section of the component tree that needs access to the state, and a Consumer component or the `useContext` hook for components to subscribe to Context changes.
