Abstract: An any-to-any (A2A) connector system provides an A2A integration framework that includes an ingress router, a connector system, and enhancements to an orchestration service framework of an information exchange platform. At design time, an application programming interface (API) connector can be generated based on API documentation for the external service. At runtime, in processing an itinerary that includes a universal service, the external service is called through the universal service using the API connector. The universal service is operable to parse a request from a client system, query a connector database, and, based on a result from the connector database, sends a request to a connector engine. The connector engine fetches the API connector from the connector database, calls the external service using the API connector, handles results of the call, and returns the results to the universal service.
