Which API data formats are supported by MuleSoft?

MuleSoft supports JSON and XML formats as they are the most commonly used data interchange formats in API development. Both of these formats are lightweight and designed for data exchange over the internet. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is particularly popular in modern web applications due to its easy readability and compatibility with JavaScript. XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is widely used for structured data representation and has strong support for complex data types.

These formats are essential for MuleSoft's Anypoint Platform, which allows seamless data transformation and integration between various systems. The ability to handle JSON and XML makes connecting different applications and services more straightforward, as these formats are often the standards used in RESTful APIs and many enterprise services.

Other formats such as CSV, SOAP, HTML, Text, and Markdown have specific use cases but are not as universally supported for API interactions within the MuleSoft ecosystem. Therefore, the emphasis on JSON and XML is important for developers using MuleSoft to ensure compatibility and efficient data handling in API management.
