What is Middleware?

Answer Posted / upendr

Middleware is distributed software needed to support
interaction between clients and servers. In short, it is
the software that is in the middle of the Client/Server
systems and it acts as a bridge between the clients and
servers. It starts with the API set on the client side that
is used to invoke a service and it covers the transmission
of the request over the network and the resulting response.
It neither includes the software that provides the actual
service - that is in the servers’ domain nor the user
interface or the application login - that's in client’s
domain

• General Middleware
• Service-specific middleware.
