Middleware in Software Development

The purpose of a middleware is simple:

To allow different applications and services can communicate with each other, even if they are written in different languages or run on different platforms. 🔗 Therefore, middleware lies between an operating system and the applications running on it.

It's like a translator - it enables communication and data management for distributed applications. 🗣️

What's the difference between API and middleware?

They're pretty similar concepts, but Middleware focuses on providing connections between different applications.

API is a software interface that defines how applications can communicate with each other.
