A MuleSoft developer at AnyAirlines is tasked with creating a new API for an integration. According to best practices, what is the first step they…

 RAML Definition Creation: The first step in creating a new API as per MuleSoft best practices is to

create a RAML (RESTful API Modeling Language) definition in the Design Center. This step is critical as

it outlines the API's structure, endpoints, methods, and data types, providing a clear blueprint for

subsequent development.

 Project Creation in Anypoint Studio: Once the RAML definition is created, the next step would be to

generate the API project in Anypoint Studio. This IDE allows developers to implement the API logic as

defined in the RAML.

 Mule Runtime Installation: Installing Mule runtime is necessary for running and testing Mule

applications locally. However, this step is secondary to defining the API’s structure.

 Case Creation in Salesforce: Creating a case in Salesforce is not relevant to the API development

process but may be necessary for support or project management purposes.
