Content-based Routing

Content-based routing is a method in computer systems that directs data or messages to different destinations based on the information they contain. Instead of sending all messages to the same place, the system examines key parts of each message—like keywords or specific data fields—and decides where to send it accordingly. This allows for more efficient and targeted processing, ensuring that messages reach the most appropriate system or service for handling their particular content. It's commonly used in messaging systems, APIs, and business workflows to improve accuracy and responsiveness.
