Middleware is a piece of software that can handle an HTTP request or response. For example we may have a middleware component that authenticates a employee details, another piece of middleware to handle exceptions, and another middleware to serve static files such as JavaScript files, CSS files, Images etc. In middleware, we setup the request processing pipeline in .NET Core. It defines how a request is processed. The request pipeline is configured as part of the application startup by the Configure() method in Startup.cs file.

The middleware in ASP.NET Core is like a superhero referee between your web application and the internet. It stands in the middle, handling requests and responses. Each middleware does a specific job, such as logging, authentication, or modifying the request. They work together in a pipeline, making sure everything runs smoothly in your web world. It's like having tiny, specialized guardians ensuring your web app stays secure, fast, and well-behaved.
