Apache Camel ™ is a powerful open-source integration framework (with powerful [Bean Integration]) based on known [Enterprise Integration Patterns].
|
|
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)|DSL], via [Spring] or [Blueprint|Using OSGi blueprint with Camel] 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.
|
Camel empowers you to define routing and mediation rules in a variety of domain-specific languages, including a Java-based [Fluent API|DSL], [Spring] or [Blueprint|Using OSGi blueprint with Camel] [XML Configuration|Xml Configuration] files, and a [Scala DSL]. This means you get smart completion of routing rules in your IDE, whether in a 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] together with working with pluggable [Data Format] options. Apache Camel is a small library which has minimal [dependencies|What are the dependencies] for easy embedding in any Java application. Apache Camel lets you work with the same [API|Exchange] 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.
