# Scripting Module 2.1

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Scripting module executes custom logic written in a scripting language. In some cases, you might
need to create custom code to perform all or part of a complex task, or to reuse modules that you
have already written. Starting with Scripting module version 2.0, you must provide a compliant
`jsr-223` scripting language engine.

## Before You Begin

To use this module, you must be familiar with:

- Anypoint Connectors

- Mule runtime engine (Mule)

- Elements in a Mule flow

- Global elements

- Creating a Mule app using Anypoint Studio

Before creating an app, you must have access to Anypoint Platform.

## Common Use Cases for the Module

Scripting module performs logic in a supported language, which enables you to access variables and
the registry, log information via the Mule logger, read payloads, and so on.

For examples, see [Examples](https://docs.mulesoft.com/scripting-module/latest/scripting-module-examples).

## Audience

- New user, read:

    app

  - [Examples](https://docs.mulesoft.com/scripting-module/latest/scripting-module-examples), which provides one or more use cases for the connector

- Advanced user, read:

  - [XML and Maven Support](https://docs.mulesoft.com/scripting-module/latest/scripting-module-xml-maven)

  - [Examples](https://docs.mulesoft.com/scripting-module/latest/scripting-module-examples), which provides one or more use cases for the connector

For a major or minor release, see [Upgrading and Migrating](https://docs.mulesoft.com/scripting-module/latest/scripting-module-upgrade-migrate).

## Next Step

After you complete the prerequisites and experiment with templates and examples, you are ready to
create an app and configure the connector using [Anypoint Studio](https://docs.mulesoft.com/scripting-module/latest/scripting-module-studio).
