<DIV><p>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.</p><p><i>Mule in Action, Second Edition</i> is a totally-revised guide covering Mule 3 fundamentals and best practices. It starts with a quick ESB overview and then dives into rich examples covering core concepts like sending, receiving, routing, and transforming data. It takes a close look at Mule's standard components and how to roll out custom ones. It also shares techniques for testing, performance tuning, BPM orchestration, and explores cloud API integration for SaaS applications.</p><p> Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.</p></div>
