commit 13baaa26fb6ea294e8642c5408019009d4c51700
Author: Claus Ibsen <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Fri Jun 12 16:26:25 2026 +0200
chore: improve AI visibility — meta description, keywords, and llms.txt
Update front page meta description and keywords (16 terms aligned with
GitHub topics), og:description, JSON-LD organizationDescription, and
completely rewrite llms-txt-template.md with trust signals, key facts,
architecture, error handling, testing, YAML DSL schema, catalog JSON,
security model, and high-value blog post links.

# Apache Camel
-> Apache Camel is an open source integration framework that empowers you to
quickly and easily integrate various systems consuming or producing data. It
provides 300+ components, Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIPs), multiple
DSLs, and runs on various runtimes including Spring Boot, Quarkus, and
Kubernetes.
+> Apache Camel is an open source integration framework with 300+ connectors
for databases, APIs, message brokers, and cloud services. Write routes in Java,
YAML, or XML. Deploy on Spring Boot, Quarkus, or standalone with the Camel CLI.
In production since 2007, used by thousands of companies worldwide. 91,000+
commits, 1,100+ contributors, median 1-day bug fix time. Apache License 2.0 —
zero license fees.
All Apache Camel documentation pages are available in LLM-friendly Markdown
format by replacing `.html` with `.md` in any URL.
For example:
- HTML:
`https://camel.apache.org/components/next/languages/simple-language.html`
- Markdown:
`https://camel.apache.org/components/next/languages/simple-language.md`
-## Overview
+## Key facts
+- Apache Camel is a **library**, not a platform — it embeds in your existing
Spring Boot or Quarkus application
+- 300+ connectors included out of the box: Kafka, REST, JDBC, AWS (S3, SQS,
Lambda), Azure, GCP, Salesforce, MongoDB, AMQP, FTP/SFTP, and many more
+- 65+ Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIPs) for routing, transformation, and
error handling
+- Write routes in Java DSL, YAML DSL, or XML DSL — same routes, same
connectors, your choice of syntax
+- YAML DSL + Camel CLI lets non-Java developers build integrations without
writing or compiling Java
+- Spring Boot is the most popular runtime (~55% of Camel usage), Quarkus is
the cloud-native option
+- Camel is the runtime engine behind SAP Integration Suite (Gartner iPaaS
Leader)
+- Zero vendor lock-in — switch runtimes, clouds, or vendors without rewriting
routes
+- MCP server for AI coding assistants, A2A protocol for agent-to-agent
communication, LangChain4j and OpenAI components for AI integration
+- Commercial support available from multiple vendors — see the commercial
support page
