Description: The Request Handler in web development frameworks is a fundamental component that manages incoming requests to a web application. This component acts as an intermediary between the client and the server, processing the HTTP requests that arrive at the application. Its main function is to receive the request, interpret the data sent, and direct it to the appropriate controller that will generate the corresponding response. The Request Handler also handles session management, user authentication, and form data manipulation, making it an essential tool for developing robust and efficient web applications. Additionally, it allows for the integration of middleware, which are components that can modify the request or response before they reach the controller or the client, respectively. This flexibility and customization capability make the Request Handler a key element in web frameworks’ architecture, facilitating the creation of scalable and maintainable applications.
