"Middleware", herhangi bir özel *path operation* tarafından işlenmeden önce her **request** ile çalışan bir fonksiyondur. Ayrıca geri döndürmeden önce her **response** ile de çalışır.

* Uygulamanıza gelen her **request**'i alır.
* Ardından o **request** üzerinde bir işlem yapabilir veya gerekli herhangi bir kodu çalıştırabilir.
* Sonra **request**'i uygulamanın geri kalanı tarafından işlenmesi için iletir (bir *path operation* tarafından).

Eso es todo.

**2 líneas**.

Y tiene la misma forma y estructura que todas tus *path operation functions*.

Puedes pensar en ella como una *path operation function* sin el "decorador" (sin el `@app.get("/some-path")`).

Y puede devolver lo que quieras.
