Define and describe the benefits of API-led connectivity and application networks. Define and correctly use the terms API, API implementation, API interface, API consumer, and API invocation. Describe the basics of the HTTP protocol and the characteristics of requests and responses. Describe the capabilities and high-level components of Anypoint Platform for the API lifecycle
Designing and consuming APIs		Describe the lifecycle of the “modern API.” Use RAML to define API resources, nested resources, and methods. Identify when and how to define query parameters vs URI parameters. Use RAML to define API parameters, requests, and responses. Use RAML to define reusable data types and format-independent examples. Read a RAML spec and formulate RESTful requests with query parameters and/or headers as appropriate.
Accessing and modifying Mule messages		Describe the Mule message data structure. Use transformers to set message payloads, message properties, and flow variables. Write MEL expressions to access and modify message payloads, message properties, and flow variables. Enrich Mule messages using the Message Enricher.
Structuring Mule applications		Parameterize an application using property placeholders. Define and reuse global configurations in an application. Break an application into multiple flows using private flows, subflows, and the Flow Reference component. Specify what data (payload, message properties, flow variables) is persisted between flows when a Flow Reference is used. Specify what data (payload, message properties, flow variables) is persisted between flows when a Mule message crosses a transport boundary. Specify what data (payload, message properties, flow variables) exists in a flow before and after a call in the middle of a flow to an external resource.
Building API implementation interfaces		Manually create a RESTful interface for a Mule application. Describe the features and benefits of APIkit. Use APIkit to create implementation flows from a RAML file. Describe how requests are routed through flows generated by APIkit.
