FreeMarker is a Java-based template engine that allows you to generate text-based output (such as HTML, XML, JSON, etc.) dynamically. The integration of FreeMarker templates within WSO2 MI was introduced in version 4.0.0. WSO2 MI is an integration runtime that allows users to develop, deploy, and manage integrations in microservices architectures. Developers can generate dynamic content based on predefined templates within their integration flows.
