Chapter 77. Data Format Component

dataformat:name:(marshal|unmarshal)[?options]

Where name is the name of the Data Format. And then followed by the operation which must either be marshal or unmarshal. The options is used for configuring the Data Format in use. See the Data Format documentation for which options it support.

The Data Format component has no options.

The Data Format endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

dataformat:name:operation

with the following path and query parameters:

For example to use the JAXB Data Format we can do as follows:

from("activemq:My.Queue").
  to("dataformat:jaxb:unmarshal?contextPath=com.acme.model").
  to("mqseries:Another.Queue");

And in XML DSL you do:

<camelContext id="camel" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
  <route>
    <from uri="activemq:My.Queue"/>
    <to uri="dataformat:jaxb:unmarshal?contextPath=com.acme.model"/>
    <to uri="mqseries:Another.Queue"/>
  </route>
</camelContext>
