DataWeave 2.0: the new Mule expression language.
-
Simplified Connectors and Modules Experience.
-
Simplified Error Handling and new Try Scope.
-
Transparent streaming of payloads.

DataWeave 2.0 New Features
The DataWeave language entirely replaces everything that Mule Expression Language does, as the default expression language in all Mule components. It has the following improvements over older versions of the language:
-
Importing of external modules with custom and specialized functions.
-
Block comments can be added over multiple lines.
-
Improved error messages with call values and stacktrace.
-
Type checking.
-
Type inference, which makes typing optional.
-
Various syntax changes.
