# Browse

## Browse Component

Available as of Apache Camel 2.0

The Browse component provides a simple BrowsableEndpoint which can be useful for testing, visualisation tools or debugging. The exchanges sent to the endpoint are all available to be browsed.

## URI format

    browse:someName

Where someName can be any string to uniquely identify the endpoint.

## Sample

In the route below, we insert a `browse:` component to be able to browse the Exchanges that are passing through:

      from("activemq:order.in").to("browse:orderReceived").to("bean:processOrder");

We can now inspect the received exchanges from within the Java code:

        private CamelContext context;

        public void inspectRecievedOrders() {
            BrowsableEndpoint browse = context.getEndpoint("browse:orderReceived", BrowsableEndpoint.class);
            List<Exchange> exchanges = browse.getExchanges();
            ...
            // then we can inspect the list of received exchanges from Java
            for (Exchange exchange : exchanges) {
                String payload = exchange.getIn().getBody();
                ...
            }
       }
