What are the main components of a MuleSoft API?

The primary components of a MuleSoft API encompass endpoints, resources, and connectors.

Endpoints serve as the URLs through which clients interact with the API, allowing for requests and responses to be handled. They define the entry points and are critical for accessing the API’s functionality.

Resources represent the specific data or functionality that an API offers. Each resource typically corresponds to a particular entity or object within your application, such as a user or product. This structure helps define how data entities are managed and manipulated through the API.

Connectors are vital for integrating the API with different systems and services, enabling communication between various data sources and applications. They facilitate interactions with external systems, whether they be databases, SaaS applications, or other services, thereby enriching the API's capabilities.

The selection of these components ensures that the API can effectively manage and deliver the required functionality while maintaining scalability and performance. Understanding these elements is fundamental for anyone working within the MuleSoft ecosystem.
