Revision 1130647 of Middleware

<p>Middleware is a (loosly defined)&nbsp;term for any software or service&nbsp;that&nbsp;enables&nbsp;the parts of a system to communicate and manage data. It is the software that handles <span style="line-height:1.5">communication between&nbsp;components and input/output, so developers&nbsp;can focus on the specific purpose of their application.&nbsp;</span></p>

<p>In server-side web application frameworks, the term is often more specifically used to refer to pre-built&nbsp;software&nbsp;components that can be added to the framework's request/response processing pipeline, to handle tasks such as database access.</p>
