The WSO2 API Manager 1.2.0 Released! The WSO2 API Manager team is pleased to announce the release of version 1.2.0 of the Open Source API Manager.
WSO2 API Manager is a platform for creating, managing, consuming and monitoring APIs. It employs proven SOA best practices to solve a wide range of API management challenges such as API provisioning, API governance, API security and API monitoring. It combines some of the most powerful and mature components of the WSO2's state-of-the-art Carbon platform to deliver a smooth and end-to-end API management experience while catering to both API publisher and API consumer requirements. WSO2 API Manager is comprised of several modules. - *API provider:* Define new APIs and manage them - *API store:* Browse published APIs and subscribe to them - *API gateway:* The underlying API runtime based on WSO2 ESB WSO2 API Manager is developed on top of the revolutionary WSO2 Carbon platform <http://wso2.org/projects/carbon> (Middleware a' la carte), an OSGi based framework that provides seamless modularity to your SOA via componentization. This release also contains many new features and a range of optional components (add-ons) that can be installed to customize the behavior of the API Manager. Further, any existing features of the product which are not required in your environment can be easily removed using the underlying provisioning framework of Carbon. In brief, WSO2 API Manager can be fully customized and tailored to meet your exact API management needs. For more information on WSO2 API Manager please visit http://wso2.com/products/api-manager.
