    • To save the API in a new ESB Config project, click Create new ESB Project and create the new project.
  6. Click Finish. The REST API is created in the src/main/synapse-config/api folder under the ESB Config project you specified. When prompted, you can open the file in the editor, or you can right-click the API in the project explorer and click Open With > ESB Editor. Click its icon in the editor to view its properties.
