WSO2 API Manager
WSO2 API Manager (WSO2 API-M) is a powerful platform for creating, managing, consuming, and monitoring web APIs. It combines tried and tested SOA best practices with modern day API management principles to solve a wide range of enterprise challenges associated with API provisioning, governance, and integration.
WSO2 API Manager consists of several loosely coupled modules.
* API Publisher
* API Developer Portal
* API Gateway
* API Key Manager
* API Traffic Manager
The API publisher module allows API publishers to easily define APIs and manage them using a strong governance model that consists of well-established concepts such as, versioning and lifecycles. API consumers can use the API Developer Portal to discover published, production-ready APIs and access them in a secure and reliable manner using unique API keys. The built-in API Gateway module provides powerful tools to secure and control the load on individual APIs.
WSO2 API Manager is based on the revolutionary WSO2 Carbon [Middleware a' la carte] framework. All the major features have been developed as reusable Carbon components.

Key Features
<details> <summary>Design and Prototype APIs</summary>- Design APIs, gather developer's feedback before implementing (API First Design).
- Design can be done from the publishing interface or by importing an existing Swagger definition.
- Deploy a prototyped API, provide early access to APIs, and get early feedback.
- Mock API implementation using Javascript.
- Support publishing SOAP, REST, JSON, and XML style services as XML.
- Graphical experience similar to Android Marketplace or Apple App Store.
- Browse APIs by provider, tags, or name.
- Self-registration to developer community to subscribe to APIs.
- Subscribe to APIs and manage subscriptions on per-application basis.
- Subscriptions can be at different service tiers based on the expected usage levels.
- Role based access to API Developer Portal, which helps to manage public and private APIs.
- Manage subscriptions per-developer.

- Support for Single Sign On (SSO) using SAML 2.0 for easy integration with existing web apps.
- Role based access control (RBAC) for managing users and their authorization levels.
- Developer Portal can be deployed in DMZ for external access with the Publisher inside the firewall for private control.
- Different user stores for developer focused Developer Portal and internal operations in the publisher.
- Integrates with enterprise identity systems including LDAP and Microsoft Active Directory.
- Gateway can be deployed in DMZ with controlled access to WSO2 Identity Server (for authentication/authorization) and governance database behind a firewall.
