What is Middleware?Need of Middleware and its Examples
Middleware is computer software that connects software components or applications. The software consists of a set of services that allows multiple processes running on one or more machines to interact across a network. Middleware sits "in the middle" between application software working on different operating systems.
Need Of Middleware
- Middleware reduces application development and maintenance efforts by supplying a variety of useful functions not found in the basic network transport software.
- Most Computing is now distributed.
- More than 95 percent of all distributed applications use some type of off-the-shelf middleware.
- Implementing a distributed application without middleware is usually impractical
Examples of middleware
- Application servers
- Message-oriented Middleware (MOM)
- Object Request Brokers (ORBs)
- Integration Brokers (e.g., message brokers)
- Web Integration Servers
- Integration Platforms
