Chapter 73. XML Tokenize


The XML Tokenize language is a built-in language in camel-xml-jaxp, which is a truly XML-aware tokenizer that can be used with the Split EIP as the conventional Tokenize to efficiently and effectively tokenize XML documents..

XML Tokenize is capable of not only recognizing XML namespaces and hierarchical structures of the document but also more efficiently tokenizing XML documents than the conventional Tokenize language.
