Camel uses a different approach based on URI. The endpoint itself and its configuration are on the URI.

The URI is human readable and provides the details of the endpoint, which is the endpoint component and the endpoint configuration.

As this URI is part of the complete configuration (which defines what we name a route, as we will see later), it's possible to have a complete overview of the integration logic and connectivity in a row. We will cover this in detail in Chapter 2, Core Concepts.
