Hi Stephan, I am not a committer, I’d say you want to use a separate component since data formats are all separate projects.
You can start the ball rolling by opening a pull request. I’d be happy to comment and provide feedback. If that can help, I contributed a new data format not long ago. You can maybe take after it? I hope it helps. https://github.com/apache/camel/pull/631 <https://github.com/apache/camel/pull/631> > On Oct 29, 2015, at 11:20 PM, Siano, Stephan <stephan.si...@sap.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > Any feedback on this?
