Mulesoft“™s Anypoint Platform is an integration platform which is especially interesting for Java developers. It is based on the Spring framework and leverages Java technologies like CXF or JAXB which are well known Java software frameworks. Therefore, Java developers are able to get along with the platform fast.

As the developers have direct access to the underlying Spring framework, the Mulesoft“™s platform can be easily extended by own components, beans and additional functionality. A pattern based architecture style is supported, that, in combination with Spring and the Mulesoft testing framework MUnit provides a rich feature set for testing.
