# Middleware
Middleware is a (loosely defined) term for any software or service that enables the parts of a system to communicate and manage data. It is the software that handles communication between components and input/output, so developers can focus on the specific purpose of their application.
In server-side web application frameworks, the term is often more specifically used to refer to pre-built software components that can be added to the framework’s request/response processing pipeline, to handle tasks such as database access.
ASP.NET
ASP.NET is an open source web framework developed by Microsoft for building modern web applications and services. With ASP.NET you can quickly create web sites based on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, scale them for use by millions of users and easily add more complex capabilities like Web APIs, forms over data, or real time communications.
