Yeah; maybe we should have a pluggable RouteMarshaller which (rather
like Language/Expression & most other things) we can have multiple
implementations (XML, Java, Scala, Groovy etc) and folks can switch
between them at runtime.
something vaguely like
interface RouteMarshaller {
marshal(RoutesDefinition routes, OutputStream out);
RoutesDefinition unmarshal(InputStream in);
}
Then we can just create concrete implementations for the various DSLs.
(The Java one BTW could maybe just reuse something like BeanShell
maybe?). The XML one is kinda trivial, its just JAXB stuff
