 Api kit router, api console? In Melesoft 

In MuleSoft 4, APIkit lcontinues to play a role in simplifying API development, especialy for REST APIs. However, some terminology changes and updates have been implemented. Here's a breakdown of what you need to know about APIkit router and API console in MuleSoft 4:

APIkit Router:

• While the term "APIkit router" is no longer explicitly used in official documentation, the functionality it represented still exists.

• In Mule 4, API routing is handled by the rest-router component within the api-kit-for-rest module.

• This component automatically handles routing incoming requests to appropriate backend flows based on the API specification (RAML or OpenAPI).

• You don't need to configure manual routing logic separately as APIkit does the routing based on the defined API contract.

API Console:

• The functionality of the API console remains similar in Mule 4.

• The console is now known as the OpenAPI Explorer or RAML Explorer depending on the API specification used (OpenAPI or RAML).

• You can still access the console by running your APIkit project and appending /console to the base URL of your API.

• The console provides features like interactive documentation, request/response testing, and API resource visualization.

Additional Information:

• While APIkit continues to be usable in Mule 4, newer tools like FlowJoiner are also available for creating complex data flows.

• The official documentation for APIkit in Mule 4 has moved to this location: [invalid URL removed]

I hope this clarifies the concept of APIkit router and API console in the context of MuleSoft 4. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions!
