Imagine you’re throwing a big party and want everything to go smoothly.
You want your guests to dress right and feel great but can’t check on everyone by yourself.
So, you ask some friends to help out. They stand at the door; check invites, and make sure everyone fits the code and all, before they get in.
This way, you only deal with guests who are all set to party.
On websites, there’s something similar called “middleware.”
Middleware checks before a request from a user reaches the server.
Middleware allows for the secure transmission of data from one point to the other.
This helps keep the web app well-organized and running smoothly.
Middleware is key in building web apps because it makes the app more secure and fast.
It’s used a lot in creating websites with tools like Express.js for Node.js, helping with different tasks to make sure everything runs well.

3️⃣ Reasons To Use Middlewares
It separates tasks like authentication, logging, and error handling, so developers can focus on building specific features.
Allows developers to reuse code across different projects. Instead of rewriting the same functionalities, they can tend to save time and effort.
Middleware acts as a bridge for different components, modules, or systems within a software application. It provides a standardized way for these components to communicate with each other.
