In this chapter, we will present the concept of Master Data Management (MDM), and how to expose Pimcore objects to third-party applications using the Datahub Pimcore bundle. The chapter is organized as follows:

- Exposing entities
- Using mutation queries
- Creating a custom mutation
- Defining custom reports
Starting with a definition of Master Data Management, we will see how to turn Pimcore into MDM. Then, we will present the Pimcore Datahub bundle and explain how to install it. After that, we will...
