In distributed computing, a stub is a program that acts as a temporary replacement for a remote service or object. It allows the client application to access a service as if it were local, while hiding the details of the underlying network communication. This can simplify the development process, as the client application does not need to be aware of the complexities of distributed computing. Instead, it can rely on the stub to handle the remote communication, while providing a familiar interface for the developer to work with.
