Spring XML Example

The following example shows how to use Any23 to unmarshal using Spring

<camelContext id="camel" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
    <dataFormats>
      <any23 id="any23" baseUri="http://mock.foo/bar" outputFormat="TURTLE" >
        <configuration key="any23.extraction.metadata.nesting" value="off"/>
        <extractors>html-head-title</extractors>
      </any23>
    </dataFormats>
    <route>
      <from uri="direct:start"/>
      <to uri="http://microformats.org/2009/08"/>
      <unmarshal>
        <custom ref="any23"/>
      </unmarshal>
      <to uri="mock:result"/>
    </route>
  </camelContext>

  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
