Mendix offers you an extensive array of tools to handle integrations:
- Message definitions – specify what messages you exchange with external systems; these can be based on XML schemas, JSON snippets, or entities defined in your domain models
- Mappings – use visual specifications of how to translate external messages to and from entities in your Mendix applications
- Web services – publish microflows as web service operations and call external web services from your microflows
- REST services – publish microflows and entities as REST resources and operations and call external REST APIs from your microflows
- OData – publish data in your application in a standardized REST format for easy use in business analytics tooling
- Connectors – implement purpose-built connector modules that provide easy-to-use microflow activities integrated with third-party services; examples include SAP, Kafka, Redis, and third-party services like Slack, Twitter, and Salesforce
- Connector Kit – the Mendix Connector Kit enables adding any custom integration using Java to Mendix in an easy, generic, and reusable way
