+/**
+ * Stores the validator's state during validation.
+ *
+ * For example, let's validate the following object graph:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * (Person)---($firstName: string)
+ * \
+ * ($address: Address)---($street: string)
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * We validate the <tt>Person</tt> instance, which becomes the "root" of the
+ * validation run (see {@link getRoot}). The state of the context after the
+ * first step will be like this:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * (Person)---($firstName: string)
+ * ^ \
+ * ($address: Address)---($street: string)
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * The validator is stopped at the <tt>Person</tt> node, both the root and the
+ * value (see {@link getValue}) of the context point to the <tt>Person</tt>
+ * instance. The property path is empty at this point (see {@link getPropertyPath}).
+ * The metadata of the context is the metadata of the <tt>Person</tt> node
+ * (see {@link getMetadata}).
+ *
+ * After advancing to the property <tt>$firstName</tt> of the <tt>Person</tt>
+ * instance, the state of the context looks like this:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * (Person)---($firstName: string)
+ * \ ^
+ * ($address: Address)---($street: string)
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * The validator is stopped at the property <tt>$firstName</tt>. The root still
+ * points to the <tt>Person</tt> instance, because this is where the validation
+ * started. The property path is now "firstName" and the current value is the
+ * value of that property.
+ *
+ * After advancing to the <tt>$address</tt> property and then to the
+ * <tt>$street</tt> property of the <tt>Address</tt> instance, the context state
+ * looks like this:
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * (Person)---($firstName: string)
+ * \
+ * ($address: Address)---($street: string)
+ * ^
+ * </pre>
+ *
+ * The validator is stopped at the property <tt>$street</tt>. The root still
+ * points to the <tt>Person</tt> instance, but the property path is now
+ * "address.street" and the validated value is the value of that property.
+ *
+ * Apart from the root, the property path and the currently validated value,
+ * the execution context also knows the metadata of the current node (see
+ * {@link getMetadata}) which for example returns a {@link Mapping\PropertyMetadata}
+ * or a {@link Mapping\ClassMetadata} object. he context also contains the
+ * validation group that is currently being validated (see {@link getGroup}) and
+ * the violations that happened up until now (see {@link getViolations}).
+ *
+ * Apart from reading the execution context, you can also use
+ * {@link addViolation} or {@link addViolationAt} to add new violations and
+ * {@link validate} or {@link validateValue} to validate values that the
+ * validator otherwise would not reach.
