What Is the Rapid Adapter Builder?

With the Rapid Adapter Builder in Oracle Integration, you can build an adapter for any application that exposes RESTful APIs, without having to write complex code from scratch.

In Oracle Integration, an adapter provides an interface to connect an integration flow with a specific application. Adapters simplify integrations by eliminating the complexity associated with connectivity methods. You can use an adapter to create connections, configure invoke and trigger endpoints, and support runtime activities while designing an integration.

Oracle Integration has an ever-growing library of application-specific adapters that you can readily use for your integration scenarios. However, when an Oracle-provided adapter is not available for your purpose, you can build your own adapter using the Rapid Adapter Builder. It provides all the necessary infrastructure to build adapters for Oracle Integration. An adapter built using the Rapid Adapter Builder can offer the same capabilities as an Oracle-provided adapter. You can implement behaviors similar to those available in the existing adapters on Oracle Integration.

The Rapid Adapter Builder is available as a Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extension, which helps you generate the code required to build an adapter. Using this extension, you can iteratively develop your adapter and publish it to Oracle Integration.

If you're new to Oracle Integration, familiarize yourself with its key concepts, such as, integrations, connections, mappings, and more. See Integration Concepts and About Connections in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.
