In our previous Blog, you have understood what Authorization & Authentication are and how they are different from each other In this Blog we will go through some of the famous Authorization & Authentication mechanisms which are used widely such as OAuth 2.0 and the OpenID Connect OAuth 2.0 OAuth 2.0 is the industry-standard protocol for authorization and not for authentication. It is used for providing access to resources such as apis or any data which should not be accessible to any unknown user. OAuth 2.0 focuses on client developer simplicity while providing specific authorization flows for web applications, desktop applications, mobile phones, and living room devices.

In our previous blogs we have explored and understood What is an API, What are the different types of API’s( REST , SOAP ) and What are the three pillars of REST API. In this blog we would understand how Mulesoft is helping companies to overcome complex integration challenges .
SOAP or Simple Objects Access Protocol is a web communication protocol designed for Microsoft back in 1998. Today, it’s mostly used to expose web services and transmit data over HTTP/HTTPS. But it’s not limited to them. SOAP, unlike the REST pattern, supports the XML data format only and
