Problem Statement
What is the primary purpose of Redux middleware?
Explanation
Redux middleware provides a third-party extension point between dispatching an action and the moment it reaches the reducer, allowing you to handle side effects, async logic, logging, or action transformation. Middleware can inspect actions, delay or modify them, dispatch additional actions, or perform side effects like API calls. This pattern keeps reducers pure while enabling complex functionality like asynchronous operations through middleware like redux-thunk or redux-saga.
