What is Middleware?

  • Middleware is a software layer that connects different parts of a system, like a bride.
  • In web development, middleware sits between the client (user) and server (application), handling requests and responses.

Why is Middleware important?

  • Helps manage common tasks like logging, authentication, and routing.
  • Makes it easier to add features without changing the main application.
  • Reusable and modular, can be used in different projects.

Types of Middleware:

  • Application middleware: Manages application-specific tasks like routing and data transformation.
  • Error Handling Middleware: Catches and handles errors, providing custom error messages.
  • Authentication Middleware: Manages user login and access to secure resources.
  • Logging Middleware: Records information for debugging and monitoring.
