Mule ESB Overview

MULE ESB OVERVIEW
MULE ESB OVERVIEW

Introduction:
The worlds most widely used enterprise service bus.
Mule ESB, any developer can connect applications using prebuilt 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.
Core Capabilities:
Service Mediation
Separate business logic from
protocols and message
formats for rapid, nimble
development and long-term
flexibility.
Service Orchestration
Coordinate and arrange
multiple services and expose
them as a second-generation
composite application.
Service Creation & Hosting
Expose app functionality as a
service and create an efficient
standards-based architecture
or host existing services in
lightweight containers.
Message Routing
Direct messages based on
content or predetermined rules
and filter, aggregate, or resequence as required.
Data Transformation
Transform data to and from
any format across
heterogeneous transport
protocols and data types or
enhance incomplete
messages.
Event Handling
Deliver synchronous and
asynchronous events,
transactions, streaming,
routing patterns, and a SEDA
architecture.
Build, edit, document and debug integrations graphically (or in XML)

Graphical drag-and-drop environment shrinks on-ramp to days, not weeks
Visual debugging and auto-documentation speeds project delivery
Two-way editing between the graphical and XML views eliminates the trade-off between
ease-of-use and control
One-click deployment of applications to Mule ESB or Cloud Hub
Accelerate development with graphical data integration

Visual data mapping eliminates manual coding
Rules, lookups, and editing capabilities enable advanced transformations
DataSense discovers end-point meta-data dynamically
Supports XML, JSON, CSV, POJOs, Excel, and more
Use familiar tools and processes

Leverages the most popular development tools such as Eclipse, Maven and GitHub
Eclipse-based environment eliminates the need to learn new development frameworks
Integrated with Apache Maven and continuous build processes for dev/test effectiveness
Supports components of any type, "plain old Java objects" (POJO) to components from other
frameworks.
Rapidly implement APIs with APIkit

Automatic generation of integration flows significantly reduces API development time
Access to MuleSoft connectors and data mapping tools accelerates connection to backend
services
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.
