In distributed computing, an object request broker ( ORB ) is a piece of middleware software that allows programmers to make program calls from one computer to another via a network.

ORBs promote interoperability of distributed object systems because they enable users to build systems by piecing together objects from different vendors, so that they communicate with each other via the ORB.

In object-oriented languages, the ORB takes the form of an object with methods enabling connection to the objects being served.

After an object connects to the ORB, the methods of that object become accessible for remote invocations.

The ORB requires some means of obtaining the network address of the object that has now become remote.

The typical ORB also has many other methods.

It is possible to register special objects ( IOR interceptors ) that can add the needed specific components to the IOR being created by the particular ORB.
