Computer software that provides services to software applications
Middleware is a type of computer software program that provides services to software applications beyond those available from the operating system. It can be described as "software glue".[1][2]
Middleware makes it easier for software developers to implement communication and input/output, so they can focus on the specific purpose of their application. It gained popularity in the 1980s as a solution to the problem of how to link newer applications to older legacy systems, although the term had been in use since 1968.[3]
^"Middleware conference". middleware-conf.github.io. Retrieved 2023-12-16. Middleware is a distributed-system software that resides between applications and underlying platforms (operating systems; databases; hardware), and/or ties together distributed applications, databases or devices. Its primary role is to coordinate and enable communication between different layers or components while isolating much of the complexity of distribution into a single, well tested and well understood system abstraction.
