Welcome to Apache Camel
=============================================================================== 

Apache Camel is a powerful open source integration framework based on known
Enterprise Integration Patterns with powerful Bean Integration.

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
