OWIN is the acronym of Open Web Server Interface for .NET. It is defined on the project
website as follows.
OWIN defines a standard interface between .NET web servers and web applications.
The goal of the OWIN interface is to decouple server and application, encourage the
development of simple modules for .NET web development, and, by being an open
standard, stimulate the open source ecosystem of .NET web development tools.
As you can imagine after reading the definition, there is no code for OWIN, just specifications for
the real implementation of a custom web server.
After two years (2010–2012), OWIN's specification was finally completed and the current
version is
1.0. If you are curious and would like to see the history of the specification, the draft
history is also available on the OWIN project website.Contents:
