What is a flow in MuleSoft?

A flow in MuleSoft is fundamentally understood as a sequence of message processors that define how data is processed within an application. In this context, message processors can include various components like transformers, routers, and endpoints that manage the input, transformation, and output of data in a defined sequence.

When a message enters a flow, it is subjected to the series of defined processors that dictate how the message is manipulated, routed, or processed. This flow-centric design allows developers to encapsulate business logic and manage the integration of disparate systems efficiently, making it a core component of building integrations and APIs in MuleSoft's Anypoint Platform.

The other options represent different aspects of MuleSoft's ecosystem but do not correctly define what a flow is. A flow is specifically focused on the processing of messages sequentially rather than being limited to APIs, collections, or design interfaces.
