Synopsis
Mule 3 is an open source enterprise service bus (ESB) that provides easy integration for popular frameworks along with an ever-expanding number of cloud services APIs. Mule is standards-based and fully supports the messaging patterns collected by Hohpe and Woolf. And if there is a need to add to its rich built-in feature set, Mule can readily be customized without writing a lot of new code.
