Introduction:
The world’s most widely
used enterprise service bus. Mule ESB, any developer can connect applications
using pre-built connectors, integration templates and drag-and-drop tooling.
Mule ESB takes the pain out of integration by delivering everything needed to
connect the enterprise to on-premises and cloud systems on a single, open
platform.
Easy to learn, powerful to use:
Integrate with Anything, deploy anywhere
Over 120
out-of-the-box connectors to integrate any protocol or application, on-premises
or in the cloud. A single integration can be deployed anywhere with the push of
a button.
Drag-and-drop graphical design
With Mule Studio,
any developer can be productive in minutes, easily creating integration flows
and mapping data from a single graphical design environment.
Build,
edit, document and debug integrations graphically (or in XML)
Ø Graphical drag-and-drop environment shrinks on-ramp to days, not
weeks
Ø Visual debugging and auto-documentation speeds project delivery
Ø Two-way editing between the graphical and XML views eliminates
the trade-off between ease-of-use and control
Ø One-click deployment of applications to Mule ESB or Cloud Hub™
Accelerate
development with graphical data integration
Ø Visual data mapping eliminates manual coding
Ø Rules, lookups, and editing capabilities enable advanced
transformations
Ø DataSense™ discovers end-point meta-data dynamically
Ø Supports XML, JSON, CSV, POJOs, Excel, and more
Use
familiar tools and processes
Ø Leverages the most popular development tools such as Eclipse,
Maven and GitHub
Ø Eclipse-based environment eliminates the need to learn new
development frameworks
Ø Integrated with Apache Maven and continuous build processes for
dev/test effectiveness
Ø Supports components of any type, "plain old Java
objects" (POJO) to components from other frameworks.
Rapidly
implement APIs with APIkit
Ø Automatic generation of integration flows significantly reduces
API development time
Ø Access to MuleSoft connectors and data mapping tools accelerates
connection to backend services
Ø Pre-packaged testing console for testing API implementation
before it goes live
Use the tools you know
Mule ESB leverages mainstream Java development tools like
Eclipse, Maven, spring and Ant. So developing integrations take hours, not
days.
Technical
Specs and Capabilities
With Mule ESB, you can leverage the platforms, technologies, and
development tools you already know to get up and running quickly. Mule also
adapts to existing investments, making it lower cost, easier to adopt, and
simpler to manage.
