Middleware typedef

Middleware = Handler Function(Handler innerHandler)

A function which creates a new Handler by wrapping a Handler.

You can extend the functions of a Handler by wrapping it in Middleware that can intercept and process a request before it it sent to a handler, a response after it is sent by a handler, or both.

Because Middleware consumes a Handler and returns a new Handler, multiple Middleware instances can be composed together to offer rich functionality.

Common uses for middleware include caching, logging, and authentication.

Middleware that captures exceptions should be sure to pass HijackExceptions on without modification.

A simple Middleware can be created using createMiddleware.
