Complete Definition

API-Led Connectivity is an integration methodology (popularized by MuleSoft) that structures APIs into three layers: System APIs (connect to underlying systems), Process APIs (implement business logic), and Experience APIs (tailor data for specific user experiences). This approach promotes reusability, reduces point-to-point integrations, and creates a structured integration architecture.
