OWIN
====

By `Steve Smith`_

ASP.NET 5 supports OWIN, the Open Web Interface for .NET, which allows web applications to be decoupled from web servers. In addition, OWIN defines a standard way for middleware to be used in a pipeline to handle individual requests and associated responses. ASP.NET 5 applications and middleware can interoperate with OWIN-based applications and middleware.
