rapid, nimble development and long-term flexibility.

Service Orchestration• Coordinate and arrange multiple services and expose them as a

second-generation composite application.

Message Routing• Direct messages based on content or predetermined rules and filter,

aggregate, or re-sequence 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.

Technology

2023-04-18

• A Mule component can be of any type such as POJO (plain old Java object).

• Requires no Mule specific code, a component can be reused in other platforms / frameworks. The business logic can then be separated from the underlying platform.

• Mule does not dictate the message format. A message in Mule can be of any type, such as XML, objects, file, or streaming binary data.

• Mule uses stage event-driven architecture (SEDA) which causes extreme scalability.
