What is a middleware and for what purposes we can use it ?

Middleware is a software assembled into an app pipeline to handle request and response.

In simple words middleware gives us the facility to add additional logic before and after the HTTP request.

We can use middlewares for following purposes:

• Caching
• Logging
• Routing
• Static Files
• Rate Limiting
• Compression
• Authorization
• Authentication
• Error Handling
• Content Type Negotiation
• CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing)

We have three ways to create middleware:

• Request delegate
• By convention
• Using middleware factory
