What Does ORB Stand For?
ORB stands for Object Request Broker
An Object Request Broker (ORB) is a middleware technology that enables communication between clients and objects in a distributed computing environment. It facilitates the invocation of object methods regardless of their location, allowing for seamless interaction across different programming languages and platforms. ORBs manage the complexities of network communication, providing service discovery, data serialization, and error handling, thereby promoting interoperability and ease of integration in multi-tier architectures.
