Description: Middleware classes in Django are components that allow processing requests and responses in web applications. They act as intermediaries between the server and the application, enabling various tasks to be performed before the request reaches the view and after the response leaves the view. This includes data manipulation, user authentication, session management, exception handling, and response compression, among others. Each middleware class can modify the request or response, providing great flexibility and modularity in application development. Django includes a default set of middleware, but it also allows developers to create their own custom classes to meet specific needs. Middleware configuration is done in the project’s configuration file, where different classes can be enabled or disabled according to the application’s requirements. This middleware architecture is fundamental to web frameworks like Django, as it allows developers to implement common functionalities efficiently and reuse them, thus improving the maintainability and scalability of web applications.
