Base64 Data Format

Available as of Camel 2.11
The Base64 Data Format is a data format for base64 encoding and decoding.

Options

Marshal

In this example we marshal the file content to base64 object.

from("file://data.bin").marshal().base64().to("jms://myqueue");

Unmarshal

In this example we unmarshal the payload from the JMS queue to a byte[] object, before its processed by the newOrder processor.

from("jms://queue/order").unmarshal().base64().processRef("newOrder");

Dependencies

To use Base64 in your Camel routes you need to add a dependency on camel-base64 which implements this data format.

If you use Maven you can just add the following to your pom.xml, substituting the version number for the latest & greatest release (see the download page for the latest versions).

<dependency>
