MOM (Message-Oriented Middleware)

Message-Oriented Middleware (MOM) is a technology that enables different software applications to communicate and exchange data reliably, even if they are running on separate systems or locations. It acts like a message delivery service: applications send messages to the middleware, which then routes them to the appropriate recipients. This decouples the sender and receiver, allowing for flexible, scalable, and robust interactions. MOM is commonly used in large systems where reliable, asynchronous communication is essential, such as in banking or logistics, ensuring that messages are delivered accurately and efficiently without requiring both applications to be active at the same time.
