Welcome to Apache Camel
===============================================================================
-Apache Camel is a powerful Spring based Integration Framework.
+Apache Camel is a powerful open source integration framework based on known
+Enterprise Integration Patterns with powerful Bean Integration.
-Camel implements the Enterprise Integration Patterns allowing you to configure
-routing and mediation rules in either a Java based Domain Specific Language
-(or Fluent API) or via Spring based XML Configuration files. Either approaches
-mean you get smart completion of routing rules in your IDE whether in your
-Java or XML editor.
+Camel lets you create the Enterprise Integration Patterns to implement routing
+and mediation rules in either a Java based Domain Specific Language (or Fluent
API),
+via Spring based Xml Configuration files or via the Scala DSL. This means you
+get smart completion of routing rules in your IDE whether in your Java,
+Scala or XML editor.
Apache Camel uses URIs so that it can easily work directly with any kind of
-transport or messaging model such as HTTP, ActiveMQ, JMS, JBI, SCA, MINA
-or CXF Bus API together with and working with pluggable Data Format options.
-Apache Camel is a small library which has minimal dependencies for easy
-embedding in any Java application.
+Transport or messaging model such as HTTP, ActiveMQ, JMS, JBI, SCA, MINA
+or CXF Bus API together with working with pluggable Data Format options.
+Apache Camel is a small library which has minimal dependencies for easy
embedding
+in any Java application. Apache Camel lets you work with the same API
regardless
+which kind of Transport used, so learn the API once and you will be able to
+interact with all the Components that is provided out-of-the-box.
+
+Apache Camel has powerful Bean Binding and integrated seamless with
+popular frameworks such as Spring and Guice.
+
+Apache Camel has extensive Testing support allowing you to easily
+unit test your routes.
Apache Camel can be used as a routing and mediation engine for the
following projects:
- * Apache ActiveMQ which is the most popular and powerful open
- source message broker
- * Apache CXF which is a smart web services suite (JAX-WS and JAX-RS)
- * Apache MINA a networking framework
- * Apache ServiceMix which is the most popular and powerful distributed
- open source ESB, JBI and OSGi container
