This example illustrates how to use Spring Boot with Camel. It provides a simple REST service that is created with Camel REST DSL and documented with OpenApi. Additionally, it provides a Swagger UI, through Springdoc, to easily interact with your REST API.
The project uses the camel-spring-boot-starter dependency, a Spring Boot starter dependency for Camel that simplifies the Maven configuration.
The project also uses camel-servlet component as the HTTP transport component for Camel REST DSL.
You can run this example using:
$ mvn spring-boot:run
After the Spring Boot application is started, you can open the following URL in your web browser to access the REST endpoint and retrieve a list of users: http://localhost:8080/api/users
To use the Swagger UI, open http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui.html
You can also access the REST endpoint from the command line:
$ curl http://localhost:8080/api/usersThe command will produce the following output:
[ { "id" : 1, "name" : "John Coltrane" }, { "id" : 2, "name" : "Miles Davis" }, { "id" : 3, "name" : "Sonny Rollins" } ]The OpenApi documentation is located at: http://localhost:8080/api/api-doc and can be retrieved with the following command:
$ curl http://localhost:8080/api/api-docThe Spring Boot application can be stopped pressing [CTRL] + [C] in the shell.

We also love contributors, so get involved :-)
