Glue code

Glue code

In programming, glue code is code that does not contribute any functionality towards meeting the program's requirements, but instead serves solely to "glue together" different parts of code that would not otherwise be compatible. Glue code often appears in code written to let existing libraries or programs interoperate, as in foreign function interfaces like the Java native interface, or when mapping objects to a database using Object-Relational Mapping, or when integrating two or more Commercial off-the-shelf programs.
