The Component Object Model (COM) is an application programming interface (API) that allows for creation of so called ‘objects’. These objects are software constructs to be useful for the service they provide for a client. The client may be another piece of software, a conventional application program or possibly another ‘object’. Objects are packaged in ‘components’. Here ‘component’ means the (more physical) representation of software – a data file on some storage medium.
