Hi everyone, I've just submitted the camel-xmljson data format for inclusion in Apache. Please see patch on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-4930.
This data format utilises the json-lib library ( http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/), and more particularly its XMLSerializer, to support *direct* conversions from JSON to XML and viceversa. I believe this capability was missing in Camel, since the former route to achieve this was JSON -> Java objects -> XML. With this data format, the middle step is dropped, so hopefully this transformation will be more efficient overall ;) I've found this component to be extremely useful in conjunction with MongoDB (camel-mongodb) and any other JSON-based databases or technologies. Many aspects of the XML -> JSON -> XML transformation can be customised, so I have exposed most (if not all) the options that Json-lib offers as options in this data format, both in the Spring DSL and the Java DSL. I haven't had the chance to add Blueprint nor Scala support. Hope the Camel riders enjoy it! Let me know if something needs to be changed!
