Whats MIDDLEWARE?!!#@!!

Middleware is a layer of software that is positioned between the operating system and the application that hides the complexities of operating systems, hardware platforms, and network protocols, it is not obviously part of an operating system, and neither is it part of one software application.

It helps developers to focus on the specific purpose of their applications.

Middleware is typically a communications type of product. It provides distributed computing services through a simple application programming interface (API).
