# context 是什么

Go 1.7 标准库引入 context，中文译作“上下文”，准确说它是 goroutine 的上下文，包含 goroutine 的运行状态、环境、现场等信息。

context 主要用来在 goroutine 之间传递上下文信息，包括：取消信号、超时时间、截止时间、k-v 等。

随着 context 包的引入，标准库中很多接口因此加上了 context 参数，例如 database/sql 包。context 几乎成为了并发控制和超时控制的标准做法。

> context.Context 类型的值可以协调多个 groutine 中的代码执行“取消”操作，并且可以存储键值对。最重要的是它是并发安全的。
>
> 与它协作的 API 都可以由外部控制执行“取消”操作，例如：取消一个 HTTP 请求的执行。
