<p>The <a shape="rect"
href="simple.html">Simple</a> language have been improved from Camel 2.9
onwards to use a better syntax parser, which can do index precise error
messages, so you know exactly what is wrong and where the problem is. For
example if you have made a typo in one of the operators, then previously the
parser would not be able to detect this, and cause the evaluation to be true.
There is a few changes in the syntax which are no longer backwards compatible.
When using <a shape="rect" href="simple.html">Simple</a> language as a <a
shape="rect" href="predicate.html">Predicate</a> then the literal text
<strong>must</strong> be enclosed in either single or double quotes. For
example: <code>"${body} == 'Camel'"</code>. Notice how we have single quotes
around the literal. The old style of using <code>"body"</code> and
<code>"header.foo"</code> to refer to the message body and header is
@deprecated, and its encouraged to always use ${ } tokens for
the built-in functions.<br clear="none"> The range operator now requires the
range to be in single quote as well as shown: <code>"${header.zip} between
'30000..39999'"</code>.</p>
</div>
</div>
-<p>To get the body of the in message: <code>"body"</code>, or
<code>"in.body"</code> or <code>"${body}"</code>.</p><p>A complex expression
must use ${ } placeholders, such as: <code>"Hello ${in.header.name} how are
you?"</code>.</p><p>You can have multiple functions in the same expression:
<code>"Hello ${in.header.name} this is ${in.header.me} speaking"</code>.<br
clear="none"> However you can <strong>not</strong> nest functions in Camel
2.8.x or older (i.e. having another ${ } placeholder in an existing, is not
allowed).<br clear="none"> From <strong>Camel 2.9</strong> onwards you can nest
functions.</p><h3 id="Simple-Variables">Variables</h3><div
