middleware
*Middleware* is a :term:`WSGI` concept. It is a WSGI component
that acts both as a server and an application. Interesting uses
for middleware exist, such as caching, content-transport
encoding, and other functions. See `WSGI.org <https://wsgi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_
or `PyPI <https://pypi.org/search/?c=Topic+%3A%3A+Internet+%3A%3A+WWW%2FHTTP+%3A%3A+WSGI+%3A%3A+Middleware>`_ to find middleware for your
application.
WSGI
`Web Server Gateway Interface <https://wsgi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_. This is a
Python standard for connecting web applications to web servers,
similar to the concept of Java Servlets. Waitress requires
that your application be served as a WSGI application.
