The document introduces API-led connectivity and the Anypoint Platform. It discusses how demands on IT are driving the need for reusable APIs and services. The Anypoint Platform is described as a unified integration platform that creates an application network with API-led connectivity. It includes tools for building, running, and managing applications and APIs. RAML is also introduced as a way to describe RESTful APIs in a human-readable format.

5. API??
 Application Programming Interface provides information for how to communicate
with a software component, defining the
 Operation (what to call)
 Inputs (What to send with a call)
 Outputs (What you get back from a call)
 Underlying data types
 It defines functionalities independent of implementations

6. Anypoint Platform
 A unified , highly productive , hybrid integration platform that creates a seamless application
network of apps, data and devices with API-led connectivity
 A collection of runtimes, frameworks, tools and web applications
 Tools and framework for building applications
 Mule runtime for running applications and applying policies
 On-prem or in the cloud
 Web application for deploying, running , managing and monitoring applications
 Defining, managing and discovering APIs

8. RAML : Restful API Modelling Language
 A simple, Structured, and succinct way of describing RESTful APIs
 RAML is a human-readable and machine process-able description of a RESTful API
interface.
 API documentation generators, API client-code generators, and API servers consume a
RAML document to create user documentation, client code, and server code stubs,
respectively.
 A non- proprietary vendor neutral open spec.
 RAML is based on broadly- used standards such as YAML and JSON
 Uses a human-readable data serialization format where data structure hierarchy is
specified by indentation
