Predicate (Camel :: API 3.21.4 API)

All Known Subinterfaces:

BinaryPredicate
```
public interface Predicate
```
Evaluates a binary predicate on the message exchange. A predicate should be thread-safe and be able to evaluate concurrently by different threads with different exchanges. Any initialization logic should be done by the init(CamelContext) method which allows to prepare the predicate such as wiring in resources, pre-parsing and what else.
