What is the purpose of middleware in ASP.NET Core?
Middleware in ASP.NET Core is like a chain of tasks that process incoming requests and outgoing responses in a web application.
Each piece of middleware handles a specific job, like checking if a user is logged in, storing data temporarily,
recording what happens, or deciding where the request should go next.
Think of it like an assembly line in a factory where each worker (middleware)
performs a specific function on a product (HTTP request/response).
By organizing these tasks into separate components, it's easier to manage and maintain the code.
In simple terms, middleware helps organize and manage the steps your web app takes to handle requests and send back responses.
