Middleware is typically implemented as a class that implements the
IMiddlewareinterface. TheIMiddlewareinterface provides a method calledInvoke()that is called for each HTTP request. TheInvoke()method can be used to perform any task that you want to perform before or after the request is handled by your application.Middleware is configured in the
Startupclass in your ASP.NET Core application. TheStartupclass provides a method calledConfigure()that is used to configure the middleware pipeline. TheConfigure()method can be used to add middleware to the pipeline, and to configure the order in which the middleware is executed.Middleware is a powerful tool that can be used to improve the security, performance, and functionality of your ASP.NET Core applications.
