| We recommend developers use the Java xref:dsl.adoc[Domain Specific Language] when writing routing rules as this provides maximum IDE |
| completion and functionality while being the most expressive. However if |
| you wish to put your routing rules in XML you can via the Camel XML |
| language. |
| |
| Camel XML uses xref:components::spring.adoc[Spring] 2 namespaces; so that you can |
| configure your routing rules within your |
| xref:components::spring.adoc[Spring XML configuration file]; you can also use |
| xref:faq/how-do-i-configure-endpoints.adoc[Java code to configure components and endpoints]. |
| |
| For examples on how to use Camel XML, see the |
| xref:enterprise-integration-patterns.adoc[Enterprise Integration Patterns] or refer to the xref:components::spring.adoc[Spring Support]. |
