| # Welcome to Apache Camel |
| |
| [Apache Camel](http://camel.apache.org/) is a powerful open source integration framework based on known |
| Enterprise Integration Patterns with powerful Bean Integration. |
| |
| ### Introduction |
| |
| 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 or Blueprint 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 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, Blueprint 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 ServiceMix which is the most popular and powerful distributed open source ESB, JBI and OSGi container |
| * 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 Karaf which is a small OSGi based runtime which applications can be deployed |
| * Apache MINA a networking framework |
