== Dependencies

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

If you use maven you could 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).

[source,xml]
----------------------------------------------------------
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-jsonb</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
----------------------------------------------------------

You have to add a dependency on the *implementation* of a jsonb specification.

If you want to add the Johnzon implementation and you are using maven, just add following to your pom.xml

[source,xml]
----------------------------------------------------------
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.johnzon</groupId>
  <artifactId>johnzon-jsonb</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>  
</dependency>
----------------------------------------------------------
