Apache Camel is a rule-based routing and mediation engine which provides a Java object based implementation of the Enterprise Integration Patterns using an API (or declarative Java Domain Specific Language) to configure routing and mediation rules. The domain specific language means that Apache Camel can support type-safe smart completion of routing rules in your IDE using regular Java code without huge amounts of XML configuration files; though XML configuration inside Spring is also supported.

Camel is often used with Apache ServiceMix, Open ESB, Apache ActiveMQ and Apache CXF in SOA infrastructure projects.

Enterprise support for Camel is available from independent vendors including FuseSource. FuseSource offers an enterprise version of Camel called FUSE Mediation Router that is tested, certified and supported.
