The Switch Mediator is an XPath or JSONPath filter. The XPath or JSONPath is evaluated and returns a string. This string is matched against the regular expression in each switch case statementmediator, in the specified order. If a matching case is found, it will be executed, and no further processing of the case statements is executedremaining switch case mediators are not processed. If none of the case statements are matching, and a default case is specified, the default will be executed.

<switch source="//m0:getQuote/m0:request/m0:symbol" xmlns:m0="http://services.samples/xsd">
      <case regex="IBM">
          <!-- the property mediator sets a local property on the *current* message -->
          <property name="symbol" value="Great stock - IBM"/>
      </case>
      <case regex="MSFT">
          <property name="symbol" value="Are you sure? - MSFT"/>
