Please note that as of Camel 2.16 there’re 5 different overloaded json() DSL methods which support the prettyPrint option in combination with other settings for JsonLibrary, unmarshalType, jsonView etc. 

Integrating Jackson with Camel's TypeConverters

Available as of Camel 2.17

The camel-jackson module allows to integrate Jackson as a Type Converter in the Camel registry. This works in similar ways that camel-jaxb integrates with the type converter as well. However camel-jackson must be explicit enabled, which is done by setting some options on the CamelContext properties, as shown below:

// enable Jackson json type converter
getContext().getProperties().put("CamelJacksonEnableTypeConverter", "true");
// allow Jackson json to convert to pojo types also (by default jackson only converts to String and other simple types)
getContext().getProperties().put("CamelJacksonTypeConverterToPojo", "true");

The camel-jackson type converter integrates with JAXB which means you can annotate POJO class with JAXB annotations that Jackson can leverage. 

Dependencies for XStream

To use JSON in your camel routes you need to add the a dependency on camel-xstream which implements this data format.
