What is meant by the concept of context within the Spring Framework?

In the Spring Framework, the context (ApplicationContext) is a container that manages the lifecycle and configuration of application objects (beans).

The context is responsible for:

• Creating and initializing beans
• Injecting dependencies between them (Dependency Injection)
• Managing configuration (e.g., from XML, annotations, or Java configuration)
• Providing access to application resources and events

Example: When the application starts, Spring creates an ApplicationContext, which reads the settings, creates all necessary objects, and links them together. This allows developers to focus on business logic rather than manual dependency management.
