Mule is a lightweight enterprise service bus (ESB) and integration framework provided by MuleSoft. The platform is Java-based, but can broker interactions between other platforms such as .NET using web services or sockets.
The architecture is a scalable, distributable object broker that can handle interactions across legacy systems, in-house applications, and almost all modern transports and protocols.
Mule has an integration engine, but the community edition lacks the support for Advanced Management interfaces. MuleSoft offers an Enterprise Edition of Mule that provides a management console, a Service registry and higher availability.
Cloudhub is Mulesoft's Cloud-based integration platform for integration to connect apps, data and devices with integration connectors (like one to Twitter, etc.) platform as a service (iPaaS).
AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) support is based on the RabbitMQ Java Client and supports AMQP up to 0.9.1.
JMS (Java Message Service) is a Message-oriented middleware API provided by Oracle for communication between different components of an application. This provides reliable, loosely coupled and asynchronous message-based communication, supporting two models: point-to-point (queues) and publish-subscribe (topics). Mule supports all functionality of JMS specification versions 1.0.2b and 1.1, and provides an endpoint for the same.
WMQ or Websphere MQ is IBM Message Oriented Middleware product for communication of distributed system. Mule also provides support for WMQ called Mule WMQ Transport which works with 7.0, 7.1 and 7.5 versions and provides endpoint for the same.
