Apache Camel is a message-based middleware with a rule-based routing- and mediation engine, which simplifies integration of Enterprise applications. Based on domain-specific language, Camel can be used to configure routing- and mediation rules. Apache Camel uses Java as its programming language and is platform-independent, thus making it compatible with all operating systems.
Routing & Mediation
Sending, receiving, routing and transforming data
Enterprise Integration Patterns
Integration of business functions in Enterprise applications
Compatibility
Communications with other transport- and message protocols through Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI)
Apache Camel is a Java-based Open Source framework for converting domains and for rule-based routing. The software is used especially in large companies and for complex network structures. It supports numerous functions, such as Bean Binding for Plain Old Java Objects and JavaBeans, thus making it easy to integrate into many other applications such as the Dependency Injection Framework Spring or in Google Guice.
