CORBA

CORBA, the Common Object Request Broker Architecture, is a standard defined by the Object Management Group to let software components written in different programming languages, running on different operating systems and different computing hardware, communicate as if they were local objects. The Object Management Group published the first CORBA specification in October 1991, defining an Interface Definition Language and an Object Request Broker that routes calls between a client and a remote object's implementation regardless of where it actually runs. CORBA was widely adopted in enterprise middleware through the 1990s, though its complexity later lost ground to simpler web-service and REST-based integration approaches.
