XML to Json with Camel

Question

My program should convert XML file format to JSON file format. Im trying to use the marshal command, but I get errors:

Exception in thread "main" org.apache.camel.FailedToCreateRouteException: Failed to create route route1 at: >>> Marshal[org.apache.camel.model.dataformat.XmlJsonDataFormat@815b41f] <<< in route: Route(route1)[[From[file:resource/inbox]] -> [Marshal[org.ap... because of Data format 'xmljson' could not be created. Ensure that the data format is valid and the associated Camel component is present on the classpath

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Data format 'xmljson' could not be created. Ensure that the data format is valid and the associated Camel component is present on the classpath

Java code

package route;

import org.apache.camel.CamelContext;
import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder;
import org.apache.camel.impl.DefaultCamelContext;
import org.apache.camel.model.dataformat.XmlJsonDataFormat;
import org.apache.camel.spi.DataFormat;
import org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator;

public class CopyToJsonRoute {

    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
        // Log 4j
        BasicConfigurator.configure();

        // create CamelContext
        CamelContext context = new DefaultCamelContext();

        // add our route to the CamelContext
        context.addRoutes(new RouteBuilder() {
            public void configure() {
                // http://www.yr.no/place/Norway/Oslo/Oslo/Oslo/forecast.xml

                XmlJsonDataFormat xmlJsonFormat = new XmlJsonDataFormat();
                xmlJsonFormat.setForceTopLevelObject(true);
                from("file:resource/inbox")
                        .marshal(xmlJsonFormat)
                        .to("file:src/main/resources/data/output?autoCreate=true");



            }
        });

        // start the route and let it do its work
        context.start();
        Thread.sleep(10000);

        // stop the CamelContext
        context.stop();
    }
}

Answer 1

You need to add camel-xmljson as dependency in your Maven pom file

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
        <artifactId>camel-xmljson</artifactId>
        <version>2.20.0</version>
    </dependency>
