• Java DSL: a Java-based DSL using the fluent builder style.

• XML DSL: an XML-based DSL in Camel XML files only.

• Spring XML: an XML-based DSL in classic Spring XML files.

• YAML DSL: for creating routes using YAML format.

• Rest DSL: a DSL to define REST services using REST verbs.

  • Rest DSL contract first: rest DSL using contract-first when OpenAPI specs.

• Annotation DSL: Use annotations in Java beans.
