Message-oriented middleware

Message-oriented middleware is like a go-between for two different people or computers. It helps the two of them understand each other and communicate. It's like a translator—if one computer speaks English and the other speaks Spanish, the message-oriented middleware helps them understand each other. With message-oriented middleware, the two computers can send messages back and forth and figure out how to communicate with each other.
