| Welcome to Apache Camel |
| =============================================================================== |
| |
| Apache Camel is a powerful Spring based Integration Framework. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| 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) |
| * Apache MINA a networking framework |
| * Apache ServiceMix which is the most popular and powerful distributed |
| open source ESB and JBI container |
