Globals

As Quart follows the Flask API, it also has globals, specifically current_app, g, request, session. These are globals as they are likely needed in all request handlers.

Locals

As is rather confusing from a naming point of view, the globals are local to the task being executed. This is detailed from a contextual view in Contexts. This is necessary to ensure that Quart can asynchronously handle many requests with a single global object.
