• APIkitMuleSoft tooling that scaffolds Mule flows from an API specification and routes requests by resource and method.Intermediate
• Batch AggregatorScope inside a batch step that collects records into groups for bulk operations.Advanced
• Batch JobMule component for reliable asynchronous processing of large record sets in phases: load and dispatch, process, and on complete.Intermediate
• Batch StepStage in a Mule batch job that processes records, optionally filtered by accept expressions or failure status.Intermediate
• Cache ScopeScope that stores responses keyed by request to avoid reprocessing repeated requests.Intermediate
• Choice RouterRouter that sends the event down the first route whose condition is true, or the default route.Foundational
• Client ID EnforcementPolicy requiring API consumers to pass a valid client ID and secret from an approved contract.Foundational
• CloudHub 2.0MuleSoft's fully managed, containerized iPaaS runtime plane for deploying Mule apps as replicas.Intermediate
• ConnectorReusable Mule component that connects to an external system or protocol, such as Salesforce, Database, HTTP, File or JMS.Foundational
• Correlation IDIdentifier propagated across Mule events and HTTP calls to trace a transaction end to end.Intermediate
• DataWeave (DW)MuleSoft's functional expression and transformation language for querying and transforming data between formats like JSON, XML, CSV and Java.Foundational
• DataWeave FunctionBuilt-in or user-defined function in DataWeave, such as map, filter, reduce, pluck, groupBy, flatten and orderBy.Intermediate
• Design CenterWeb-based Anypoint tool for designing API specifications and fragments.Foundational
• Error Handler (Mule)Component of a flow or Try scope containing On Error Continue or On Error Propagate scopes matched by error type.Foundational
• Experience APIAPI layer tailored to a specific consumer or channel, such as a mobile app or partner portal.Foundational
• First Successful RouterRouter that tries routes in order until one succeeds without error.Intermediate
• Flow ReferenceComponent that routes the event to another flow or subflow in the same application and returns the result.Foundational
• For Each ScopeScope that iterates sequentially over a collection, processing each element; the original payload is restored afterward.Foundational
• Global Configuration ElementReusable application-level configuration, such as connector connection settings, referenced by operations.Foundational
• HTTP ListenerHTTP connector source that receives HTTP requests on a configured host, port and path to trigger a flow.Foundational
• Mule EventThe data object passed through a Mule flow, consisting of a Mule message and variables.Foundational
• Mule FlowSequence of event processors with an optional source and its own error handling.Foundational
• Mule MessagePart of the Mule event holding the payload and attributes such as headers or query parameters.Foundational
• Mule RuntimeLightweight Java-based runtime engine that executes Mule applications.Foundational
• Mule VariableNamed value stored on the Mule event with the Set Variable component, accessible as vars.name.Foundational
• MUnitMuleSoft's testing framework for unit and integration tests of Mule flows with mocking and assertions.Intermediate
• Object Store v2 (OSv2)MuleSoft cloud key-value store for persisting data such as watermarks and cache entries across application restarts.Intermediate
• On Error ContinueError scope that handles an error and returns its result as a successful response to the caller.Foundational
• On Error PropagateError scope that runs its processors then rethrows the error to the caller.Foundational
• Parallel For EachScope processing collection elements concurrently and returning a collection of the results.Intermediate
• Process APIAPI layer that orchestrates and combines data across System APIs to implement business processes.Foundational
• Property PlaceholderSyntax ${key} that resolves configuration values from YAML or properties files, system properties or Runtime Manager.Intermediate
• RAMLRESTful API Modeling Language, a YAML-based language for describing REST APIs, widely used with MuleSoft.Intermediate
• ReplicaInstance of a Mule application running in CloudHub 2.0 or Runtime Fabric, scaled horizontally.Intermediate
• Round Robin RouterRouter that sends each event to the next route in sequence, distributing load.Intermediate
• Runtime ManagerAnypoint component for deploying, managing and monitoring Mule applications across runtime planes.Foundational
• Scatter-GatherRouter that sends the same event to multiple routes concurrently and aggregates results into an object keyed by route index.Intermediate
• Scheduler ComponentSource that triggers a flow at fixed frequency or on a cron schedule.Foundational
• Secure PropertiesMule module for encrypting sensitive configuration values, referenced with ${secure::key}.Intermediate
• SLA TierService level definition for an API that sets request limits for client applications that request access.Intermediate
• Subflow (Mule)Reusable processor sequence with no source and no error handler, executed synchronously in the caller's context.Intermediate
• System APIAPI layer that exposes data from a system of record (ERP, CRM, database) in a canonical, system-insulating way.Foundational
• Transform MessageMule component that executes a DataWeave script to set payload, variables or attributes.Foundational
• Try ScopeScope that wraps processors with its own error handling and optional transaction.Foundational
• Until SuccessfulScope that retries its processors until they succeed or max retries are exhausted.Intermediate
• VM ConnectorConnector for asynchronous, in-memory or persistent queue communication between flows in an app or domain.Intermediate
• WatermarkTechnique storing the last processed value (timestamp or ID) to fetch only new records on the next poll.Advanced
