Introducing the Mule Palette

The Mule Palette has modules and connectors that we can use in the flow. We can also download new modules or connectors from Anypoint Exchange, as shown in Figure 3.4. Core, HTTP, and Sockets are default modules in the Palette. Based on the project requirements, we can add modules to the Palette by using the Add Modules option. While developing a project, you can drag and drop the required components from the Mule Palette onto the canvas:

An artist palette is a thin board that has a set of colors that enables mixing and painting on canvas. Similarly, the Mule Palette has collections of components that the developer can drag and drop onto the canvas to design or develop the Mule project.

With this, we have learned about the components available in the Mule Palette. Next, let’s move on to learn about the Mule project structure.
