In computer programming, glue code refers to sections of code that connect different software components, modules, or system software. The glue code itself is not there to meet traditional programming requirements for an application. That is to say, it doesn't help create the core features of a program. Instead, it acts as a bridge, translating and facilitating communication so that all of the disparate parts work together correctly. Glue code is often necessary when integrating diverse technologies that use different interfaces, protocols, or data formats.
