DSL vs XML configuration

gistfile1.txt

DSL configuration has all relevant information colocated on one place in the code.
XML configuration has information scattered. Part is in the XML and part in the code.


DSL CONFIGURATION EXAMPLE

.<OrderItem, Boolean>route(OrderItem::isIced, mapping -> mapping // 16
  	    .subFlowMapping("true", routeIced())// 24
  	    .subFlowMapping("false", routeNotIced()))



XML CONFIGURATION EXAMPLE

<int:router  input-channel="drinks" ref="drinkRouter" method="resolveOrderItemChannel"/>

---

public class DrinkRouter {
    public String resolveOrderItemChannel(OrderItem orderItem) {
        return (orderItem.isIced()) ? "coldDrinks" : "hotDrinks";
    }
}
