Chapter 7. Getting Started with SwitchYard on Apache Karaf
7.1. SwitchYard
SwitchYard is a lightweight service delivery framework providing full lifecycle support for developing, deploying, and managing service-oriented applications.
It works with Apache Camel to provide a fast, simple, flexible integration runtime with comprehensive connectivity and transports.
A uniform application model augments Apache Camel, joining Java EE, BPM, rules, orchestration, and routing into a cohesive development model and runtime.
Common functionality and cross-cutting concerns (for example, validation, transformation and policy) are isolated from business logic and handled declaratively. This ensures consistency and eliminates duplication, offering developers a clear view of the structure and relationships of services in an integration application.
