_spPageContextInfo in SharePoint 2016
What is _spPageContextInfo
_spPageContextInfo is a global variable. It belongs to any pages like wiki, publishing and system pages. It provides us so much useful information about the web by its properties. For example, _spPageContextInfo.userLoginName gives the login name of the current logged in user. If we do not have this property in _spPageContextInfo, then we have to make a REST call to get this.
