Getting started with WSO2 Extensions

WSO2 provides the complete middleware stack, which includes the integration, analytics, security, API management, governance, mobile and IoT platforms. It spans the entire breadth of Service Oriented Architecture, yet remain lean and easy to use.

But the platform itself doesn't solve all user requirements. We need some level of customization to fulfill the user's needs.

Extensions to the rescue

Extensions are ready-made independent components which solve the user's general requirement and allow them to build the solution rapidly. It also abstracts users from the complexity of initializing required elements such as connecting to a third-party system and leverage its functionality and data from the WSO2 product. 

There are 150+ ESB connectors and 25+ IS Connectors available in the WSO2 Store.

ESB Connectors - Connectors allow you to interact with a third-party product's functionality and data from your ESB message flow. This allows ESB to connect with disparate cloud APIs, SaaS applications, and on-premise systems.

Custom Inbound Endpoints - A custom inbound endpoint is a message entry point. It supports multitenancy and comes with built-in cluster coordination.

Authenticators - Authenticator provides you a way to authenticate the user using specific external authentication systems such as MePIN, inWebo, and SMS-OTP from the WSO2 Identity Server.

Provisioning Connectors - Provisioning connector provides you a way to provision the user to external identity providers such as inWebo, Duo, and Salesforce from the WSO2 Identity Server.
