+
+## Overview
+
+To use `ConditionalRouter` you need to define a list of routes.
+Each route is a dictionary with the following elements:
+
+- `'condition'`: A Jinja2 string expression that determines if the route is selected.
+- `'output'`:  A Jinja2 expression or list of expressions defining one or more output values.
+- `'output_type'`: The expected type or list of types corresponding to each output (for example, `str`, `List[int]`).
+  - Note that this doesn't enforce the type conversion of the output. Instead, the output field is rendered using Jinja2, which automatically infers types. If you need to ensure the result is a string (for example, "123" instead of `123`), wrap the Jinja expression in single quotes like this: `output: "'{{message.text}}'"`. This ensures the rendered output is treated as a string by Jinja2.
+- `'output_name'`: The name or list of names under which the output values are published. This is used to connect the router to other components in the pipeline.
+
+### Variables
+
+The `ConditionalRouter` lets you define which variables are optional in your routing conditions.
+
+```python
+from haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter
+
+routes = [
+    {
+        "condition": '{{ path == "rag" }}',
+        "output": "{{ question }}",
+        "output_name": "rag_route",
+        "output_type": str,
+    },
+    {
+        "condition": "{{ True }}",  # fallback route
+        "output": "{{ question }}",
+        "output_name": "default_route",
+        "output_type": str,
+    },
+]
+
+## 'path' is optional, 'question' is required
+router = ConditionalRouter(routes=routes, optional_variables=["path"])
+```
+
+The component only waits for the required inputs before running. If you use an optional variable in a condition but don't provide it at runtime, it’s evaluated as `None`, which generally does not raise an error but can affect the condition’s outcome.
+
+### Unsafe behaviour
+
+The `ConditionalRouter` internally renders all the rules' templates using Jinja, by default this is a safe behaviour. Though it limits the output types to strings, bytes, numbers, tuples, lists, dicts, sets, booleans, `None` and `Ellipsis` (`...`), as well as any combination of these structures.
+
+If you want to use more types like `ChatMessage`, `Document` or `Answer` you must enable rendering of unsafe templates by setting the `unsafe` init argument to `True`.
+
+Beware that this is unsafe and can lead to remote code execution if a rule `condition` or `output` templates are customizable by the end user.
+
+## Usage
+
+### On its own
+
+This component is primarily meant to be used in pipelines.
+
+In this example, we configure two routes. The first route sends the `'streams'` value to `'enough_streams'` if the stream count exceeds two. Conversely, the second route directs `'streams'` to `'insufficient_streams'` when there are two or fewer streams.
+
+```python
+from haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter
+from typing import List
+
+routes = [
+    {
+        "condition": "{{streams|length > 2}}",
+        "output": "{{streams}}",
+        "output_name": "enough_streams",
+        "output_type": List[int],
+    },
+    {
+        "condition": "{{streams|length <= 2}}",
+        "output": "{{streams}}",
+        "output_name": "insufficient_streams",
+        "output_type": List[int],
+    },
+]
+
+router = ConditionalRouter(routes)
+
+kwargs = {"streams": [1, 2, 3], "query": "Haystack"}
+result = router.run(**kwargs)
+
+print(result)
+## {"enough_streams": [1, 2, 3]}
+```
+
+### In a pipeline
+
+Below is an example of a simple pipeline that routes a query based on its length and returns both the text and its character count.
+
+If the query is too short, the pipeline returns a warning message and the character count, then stops.
+
+If the query is long enough, the pipeline returns the original query and its character count, sends the query to the `PromptBuilder`, and then to the Generator to produce the final answer.
+
+```python
+from haystack import Pipeline
+from haystack.components.routers import ConditionalRouter
+from haystack.components.builders.chat_prompt_builder import ChatPromptBuilder
+from haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator
+from haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage
+
+## Two routes, each returning two outputs: the text and its length
+routes = [
+    {
+        "condition": "{{ query|length > 10 }}",
+        "output": ["{{ query }}", "{{ query|length }}"],
+        "output_name": ["ok_query", "length"],
+        "output_type": [str, int],
+    },
+    {
+        "condition": "{{ query|length <= 10 }}",
+        "output": ["query too short: {{ query }}", "{{ query|length }}"],
+        "output_name": ["too_short_query", "length"],
+        "output_type": [str, int],
+    },
+]
+
+router = ConditionalRouter(routes=routes)
+
+pipe = Pipeline()
+pipe.add_component("router", router)
+pipe.add_component(
+    "prompt_builder",
+    ChatPromptBuilder(
+        template=[ChatMessage.from_user("Answer the following query: {{ query }}")],
+        required_variables={"query"},
+    ),
+)
+pipe.add_component("generator", OpenAIChatGenerator())
+
+pipe.connect("router.ok_query", "prompt_builder.query")
+pipe.connect("prompt_builder.prompt", "generator.messages")
+
+## Short query: length ≤ 10 ⇒ fallback route fires.
+print(pipe.run(data={"router": {"query": "Berlin"}}))
+## {'router': {'too_short_query': 'query too short: Berlin', 'length': 6}}
+
+## Long query: length > 10 ⇒ first route fires.
+print(pipe.run(data={"router": {"query": "What is the capital of Italy?"}}))
+## {'generator': {'replies': ['The capital of Italy is Rome.'], …}}
+```

+
+## Overview
+
+`DocumentLengthRouter` routes documents to different output connections based on the length of their `content` field.
+
+It allows to set a `threshold` init parameter. Documents where `content` is None, or the length of `content` is less than or equal to the threshold are routed to "short_documents". Others are routed to "long_documents".
+
+A common use case for `DocumentLengthRouter` is handling documents obtained from PDFs that contain non-text content, such as scanned pages or images. This component can detect empty or low-content documents and route them to components that perform OCR, generate captions, or compute image embeddings.
+
+## Usage
+
+### On its own
+
+```python
+from haystack.components.routers import DocumentLengthRouter
+from haystack.dataclasses import Document
+
+docs = [
+    Document(content="Short"),
+    Document(content="Long document " * 20),
+]
+
+router = DocumentLengthRouter(threshold=10)
+
+result = router.run(documents=docs)
+print(result)
+
+## {
+## "short_documents": [Document(content="Short", ...)],
+## "long_documents": [Document(content="Long document ...", ...)],
+## }
+```
+
+### In a pipeline
+
+In the following indexing pipeline, the `PyPDFToDocument` Converter extracts text from PDF files.
+Documents are then split by pages using a `DocumentSplitter`.
+Next, the `DocumentLengthRouter` routes short documents to `LLMDocumentContentExtractor` to extract text, which is particularly useful for non-textual, image-based pages.
+Finally, all documents are sent to the `DocumentWriter` and written to the Document Store.
+
+```python
+from haystack import Pipeline
+from haystack.components.converters import PyPDFToDocument
+from haystack.components.extractors.image import LLMDocumentContentExtractor
+from haystack.components.generators.chat import OpenAIChatGenerator
+from haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter
+from haystack.components.routers import DocumentLengthRouter
+from haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter
+from haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore

+indexing_pipe.add_component("pdf_converter", PyPDFToDocument(store_full_path=True))
+## setting skip_empty_documents=False is important here because the
+## LLMDocumentContentExtractor can extract text from non-textual documents
+## that otherwise would be skipped
+indexing_pipe.add_component(
+    "pdf_splitter",
+    DocumentSplitter(split_by="page", split_length=1, skip_empty_documents=False),
+)
+indexing_pipe.add_component("doc_length_router", DocumentLengthRouter(threshold=10))
+indexing_pipe.add_component(
+    "content_extractor",
+    LLMDocumentContentExtractor(
+        chat_generator=OpenAIChatGenerator(model="gpt-4.1-mini"),
+    ),
+)
+indexing_pipe.add_component(
+    "document_writer",
+    DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store),
+)
+
+indexing_pipe.connect("pdf_converter.documents", "pdf_splitter.documents")
+indexing_pipe.connect("pdf_splitter.documents", "doc_length_router.documents")
+## The short PDF pages will be enriched/captioned
+indexing_pipe.connect(
+    "doc_length_router.short_documents",
+    "content_extractor.documents",
+)
+indexing_pipe.connect("doc_length_router.long_documents", "document_writer.documents")
+indexing_pipe.connect("content_extractor.documents", "document_writer.documents")
+
+## Run the indexing pipeline with sources
+indexing_result = indexing_pipe.run(
+    data={"sources": ["textual_pdf.pdf", "non_textual_pdf.pdf"]},
+)
+
+## Inspect the documents
+indexed_documents = document_store.filter_documents()
+print(f"Indexed {len(indexed_documents)} documents:\n")
+for doc in indexed_documents:
+    print("file_path: ", doc.meta["file_path"])
+    print("page_number: ", doc.meta["page_number"])
+    print("content: ", doc.content)
+    print("-" * 100 + "\n")
+

+
+## Overview
+
+`DocumentTypeRouter` routes documents based on their MIME types, supporting both exact matches and regex patterns. It can determine MIME types from document metadata or infer them from file paths using standard Python `mimetypes` module and custom mappings.
+
+When initializing the component, specify the set of MIME types to route to separate outputs. Set the `mime_types` parameter to a list of types, for example: `["text/plain", "audio/x-wav", "image/jpeg"]`. Documents with MIME types that are not listed are routed to an output named "unclassified".
+
+The component requires at least one of the following parameters to determine MIME types:
+
+- `mime_type_meta_field`: Name of the metadata field containing the MIME type
+- `file_path_meta_field`: Name of the metadata field containing the file path (MIME type will be inferred from the file extension)
+
+## Usage
+
+### On its own
+
+Below is an example that uses the `DocumentTypeRouter` to categorize documents by their MIME types:
+
+```python
+from haystack.components.routers import DocumentTypeRouter
+from haystack.dataclasses import Document
+
+docs = [
+    Document(content="Example text", meta={"file_path": "example.txt"}),
+    Document(content="Another document", meta={"mime_type": "application/pdf"}),
+    Document(content="Unknown type"),
+]
+
+router = DocumentTypeRouter(
+    mime_type_meta_field="mime_type",
+    file_path_meta_field="file_path",
+    mime_types=["text/plain", "application/pdf"],
+)
+
+result = router.run(documents=docs)
+print(result)
+```
+
+Expected output:
+
+```python
+{
+    "text/plain": [Document(...)],
+    "application/pdf": [Document(...)],
+    "unclassified": [Document(...)],
+}
+```
+
+### Using regex patterns
+
+You can use regex patterns to match multiple MIME types with similar patterns:
+
+```python
+from haystack.components.routers import DocumentTypeRouter
+from haystack.dataclasses import Document
+
+docs = [
+    Document(content="Plain text", meta={"mime_type": "text/plain"}),
+    Document(content="HTML text", meta={"mime_type": "text/html"}),
+    Document(content="Markdown text", meta={"mime_type": "text/markdown"}),
+    Document(content="JPEG image", meta={"mime_type": "image/jpeg"}),
+    Document(content="PNG image", meta={"mime_type": "image/png"}),
+    Document(content="PDF document", meta={"mime_type": "application/pdf"}),
+]
+
+router = DocumentTypeRouter(
+    mime_type_meta_field="mime_type",
+    mime_types=[r"text/.*", r"image/.*"],
+)
+
+result = router.run(documents=docs)
+
+## Result will have:
+## - "text/.*": 3 documents (text/plain, text/html, text/markdown)
+## - "image/.*": 2 documents (image/jpeg, image/png)
+## - "unclassified": 1 document (application/pdf)
+```
+
+### Using custom MIME types
+
+You can add custom MIME type mappings for uncommon file types:
+
+```python
+from haystack.components.routers import DocumentTypeRouter
+from haystack.dataclasses import Document
+
+docs = [
+    Document(content="Word document", meta={"file_path": "document.docx"}),
+    Document(content="Markdown file", meta={"file_path": "readme.md"}),
+    Document(content="Outlook message", meta={"file_path": "email.msg"}),
+]
+
+router = DocumentTypeRouter(
+    file_path_meta_field="file_path",
+    mime_types=[
+        "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document",
+        "text/markdown",
+        "application/vnd.ms-outlook",
+    ],
+    additional_mimetypes={
+        "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document": ".docx",
+    },
+)
+
+result = router.run(documents=docs)
+```
+
+### In a pipeline
+
+Below is an example of a pipeline that uses a `DocumentTypeRouter` to categorize documents by type and then process them differently. Text documents get processed by a `DocumentSplitter` before being stored, while PDF documents are stored directly.
+
+```python
+from haystack import Pipeline
+from haystack.components.routers import DocumentTypeRouter
+from haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore
+from haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter
+from haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter
+from haystack.dataclasses import Document
+
+## Create document store
+document_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()
+
+## Create pipeline
+p = Pipeline()
+p.add_component(
+    instance=DocumentTypeRouter(
+        mime_types=["text/plain", "application/pdf"],
+        mime_type_meta_field="mime_type",
+    ),
+    name="document_type_router",
+)
+p.add_component(instance=DocumentSplitter(), name="text_splitter")
+p.add_component(
+    instance=DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store),
+    name="text_writer",
+)
+p.add_component(
+    instance=DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store),
+    name="pdf_writer",
+)
+
+## Connect components
+p.connect("document_type_router.text/plain", "text_splitter.documents")
+p.connect("text_splitter.documents", "text_writer.documents")
+p.connect("document_type_router.application/pdf", "pdf_writer.documents")
+
+## Create test documents
+docs = [
+    Document(
+        content="This is a text document that will be split and stored.",
+        meta={"mime_type": "text/plain"},
+    ),
+    Document(
+        content="This is a PDF document that will be stored directly.",
+        meta={"mime_type": "application/pdf"},
+    ),
+    Document(
+        content="This is an image document that will be unclassified.",
+        meta={"mime_type": "image/jpeg"},
+    ),
+]
+
+## Run pipeline
+result = p.run({"document_type_router": {"documents": docs}})
+
+## The pipeline will route documents based on their MIME types:
+## - Text documents (text/plain) → DocumentSplitter → DocumentWriter
+## - PDF documents (application/pdf) → DocumentWriter (direct)
+## - Other documents → unclassified output
+```

+
+## Overview
+
+`FileTypeRouter` routes file paths or byte streams based on their type, for example, plain text, jpeg image, or audio wave. For file paths, it infers MIME types from their extensions, while for byte streams, it determines MIME types based on the provided metadata.
+
+When initializing the component, you specify the set of MIME types to route to separate outputs. To do this, set the `mime_types` parameter to a list of types, for example: `["text/plain", "audio/x-wav", "image/jpeg"]`. Types that are not listed are routed to an output named “unclassified”.
+
+## Usage
+
+### On its own
+
+Below is an example that uses the `FileTypeRouter` to rank two simple documents:
+
+```python
+from haystack import Document
+from haystack.components.routers import FileTypeRouter
+
+router = FileTypeRouter(mime_types=["text/plain"])
+router.run(sources=["text-file-will-be-added.txt", "pdf-will-not-ne-added.pdf"])
+```
+
+### In a pipeline
+
+Below is an example of a pipeline that uses a `FileTypeRouter` to forward only plain text files to a `DocumentSplitter` and then a `DocumentWriter`. Only the content of plain text files gets added to the `InMemoryDocumentStore`, but not the content of files of any other type. As an alternative, you could add a `PyPDFConverter` to the pipeline and use the `FileTypeRouter` to route PDFs to it so that it converts them to documents.
+
+```python
+from haystack import Pipeline
+from haystack.components.routers import FileTypeRouter
+from haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore
+from haystack.components.converters import TextFileToDocument
+from haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter
+from haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter
+
+document_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()
+p = Pipeline()
+p.add_component(
+    instance=FileTypeRouter(mime_types=["text/plain"]),
+    name="file_type_router",
+)
+p.add_component(instance=TextFileToDocument(), name="text_file_converter")
+p.add_component(instance=DocumentSplitter(), name="splitter")
+p.add_component(instance=DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store), name="writer")
+p.connect("file_type_router.text/plain", "text_file_converter.sources")
+p.connect("text_file_converter.documents", "splitter.documents")
+p.connect("splitter.documents", "writer.documents")
+p.run(
+    {
+        "file_type_router": {
+            "sources": ["text-file-will-be-added.txt", "pdf-will-not-be-added.pdf"],
+        },

+
+## Overview
+
+`LLMMessagesRouter` uses an LLM to classify chat messages and route them to different outputs based on that classification.
+
+This is especially useful for tasks like content moderation.  If a message is deemed safe, you might forward it to a Chat Generator to generate a reply. Otherwise, you may halt the interaction or log the message separately.
+
+First, you need to pass a ChatGenerator instance in the `chat_generator` parameter.
+Then, define two lists of the same length:
+
+- `output_names`: The names of the outputs to which you want to route messages,
+- `output_patterns`: Regular expressions that are matched against the LLM output.
+
+Each pattern is evaluated in order, and the first match determines the output. To define appropriate patterns, we recommend reviewing the model card of your chosen LLM and/or experimenting with it.
+
+Optionally, you can provide a `system_prompt` to guide the classification behavior of the LLM. In this case as well, we recommend checking the model card to discover customization options.
+
+To see the full list of parameters, check out our [API reference](/reference/routers-api#llmmessagesrouter).
+
+## Usage
+
+### On its own
+
+Below is an example of using `LLMMessagesRouter` to route Chat Messages to two  output connections based on safety classification. Messages that don’t match any pattern are routed to `unmatched`.
+
+We use Llama Guard 4 for content moderation. To use this model with the Hugging Face API, you need to [request access](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-Guard-4-12B) and set the `HF_TOKEN` environment variable.
+
+```python
+from haystack.components.generators.chat import HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator
+from haystack.components.routers.llm_messages_router import LLMMessagesRouter
+from haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage
+
+chat_generator = HuggingFaceAPIChatGenerator(
+    api_type="serverless_inference_api",
+    api_params={"model": "meta-llama/Llama-Guard-4-12B", "provider": "groq"},
+)
+
+router = LLMMessagesRouter(
+    chat_generator=chat_generator,
+    output_names=["unsafe", "safe"],
+    output_patterns=["unsafe", "safe"],
+)
+
+print(router.run([ChatMessage.from_user("How to rob a bank?")]))
+
+## {
+## 'chat_generator_text': 'unsafe\nS2',
+## 'unsafe': [
+## ChatMessage(
+## _role=<ChatRole.USER: 'user'>,
+## _content=[TextContent(text='How to rob a bank?')],
+## _name=None,
+## _meta={}
+## )
+## ]
+## }
+```
+
+You can also use `LLMMessagesRouter` with general-purpose LLMs.
+
+```python
+from haystack.components.generators.chat.openai import OpenAIChatGenerator
+from haystack.components.routers.llm_messages_router import LLMMessagesRouter
+from haystack.dataclasses import ChatMessage
+
+system_prompt = """Classify the given message into one of the following labels:
+- animals
+- politics
+Respond with the label only, no other text.
+"""
+
+chat_generator = OpenAIChatGenerator(model="gpt-4.1-mini")
+
+router = LLMMessagesRouter(
+    chat_generator=chat_generator,
+    system_prompt=system_prompt,
+    output_names=["animals", "politics"],
+    output_patterns=["animals", "politics"],
+)
+
+messages = [ChatMessage.from_user("You are a crazy gorilla!")]
+
+print(router.run(messages))
+
+## {
+## 'chat_generator_text': 'animals',
+## 'unsafe': [
+## ChatMessage(
+## _role=<ChatRole.USER: 'user'>,
+## _content=[TextContent(text='You are a crazy gorilla!')],
+## _name=None,
+## _meta={}
+## )
+## ]
+## }
+```
+
+### In a pipeline
+
+Below is an example of a RAG pipeline that includes content moderation.
+Safe messages are routed to an LLM to generate a response, while unsafe messages are returned through the `moderation_router.unsafe` output edge.
+
+```python
+from haystack import Document, Pipeline

+
+## Overview
+
+`MetadataRouter` routes documents or byte streams to different outputs based on their metadata. You initialize it with `rules` defining the names of the outputs and filters to match documents or byte streams to one of the connections. The filters follow the same syntax as filters in Document Stores. If a document or byte stream matches multiple filters, it is sent to multiple outputs. Objects that do not match any rule go to an output connection named `unmatched`.
+
+In pipelines, this component is most useful after a Classifier (such as the `DocumentLanguageClassifier`) that adds the classification results to the documents' metadata.
+
+This component has no default rules. If you don't define any rules when initializing the component, it routes all documents or byte streams to the `unmatched` output.
+
+## Usage
+
+### On its own
+
+Below is an example that uses the `MetadataRouter` to filter out documents based on their metadata. We initialize the router by setting a rule to pass on all documents with `language` set to `en` in their metadata to an output connection called `en`. Documents that don't match this rule go to an output connection named `unmatched`.
+
+```python
+from haystack import Document
+from haystack.components.routers import MetadataRouter
+
+docs = [
+    Document(content="Paris is the capital of France.", meta={"language": "en"}),
+    Document(
+        content="Berlin ist die Haupststadt von Deutschland.",
+        meta={"language": "de"},
+    ),
+]
+router = MetadataRouter(
+    rules={"en": {"field": "meta.language", "operator": "==", "value": "en"}},
+)
+router.run(documents=docs)
+```
+
+### Routing ByteStreams
+
+You can also use `MetadataRouter` to route `ByteStream` objects based on their metadata. This is useful when working with binary data or when you need to route files before they're converted to documents.
+
+```python
+from haystack.dataclasses import ByteStream
+from haystack.components.routers import MetadataRouter
+
+streams = [
+    ByteStream.from_string("Hello world", meta={"language": "en"}),
+    ByteStream.from_string("Bonjour le monde", meta={"language": "fr"}),
+]
+
+router = MetadataRouter(
+    rules={"english": {"field": "meta.language", "operator": "==", "value": "en"}},
+    output_type=list[ByteStream],
+)
+
+result = router.run(documents=streams)
+## {'english': [ByteStream(...)], 'unmatched': [ByteStream(...)]}
+```
+
+### In a pipeline
+
+Below is an example of an indexing pipeline that converts text files to documents and uses the `DocumentLanguageClassifier` to detect the language of the text and add it to the documents' metadata. It then uses the `MetadataRouter` to forward only English language documents to the `DocumentWriter`. Documents of other languages will not be added to the `DocumentStore`.
+
+```python
+from haystack import Pipeline
+from haystack.components.file_converters import TextFileToDocument
+from haystack.components.classifiers import DocumentLanguageClassifier
+from haystack.components.routers import MetadataRouter
+from haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter
+from haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore
+
+document_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()
+p = Pipeline()
+p.add_component(instance=TextFileToDocument(), name="text_file_converter")
+p.add_component(instance=DocumentLanguageClassifier(), name="language_classifier")
+p.add_component(
+    instance=MetadataRouter(

+    ),
+    name="router",
+)
+p.add_component(instance=DocumentWriter(document_store=document_store), name="writer")
+p.connect("text_file_converter.documents", "language_classifier.documents")
+p.connect("language_classifier.documents", "router.documents")
+p.connect("router.en", "writer.documents")
+p.run(
+    {
+        "text_file_converter": {
+            "sources": [
+                "english-file-will-be-added.txt",
+                "german-file-will-not-be-added.txt",
+            ],
+        },
+    },
+)
+```

+## Overview
+
+`TextLanguageRouter` detects the language of an input string and routes it to an output named after the language if it's in the set of languages the component was initialized with. By default, only English is in this set. If the detected language of the input text is not in the component’s `languages` , it's routed to an output named `unmatched`.
+
+In pipelines, it's used as the first component to route a query based on its language and filter out queries in unsupported languages.
+
+The components parameter `languages` must be a list of languages in ISO code, such as en, de, fr, es, it, each corresponding to a different output connection (see [langdetect documentation](https://github.com/Mimino666/langdetect#languages))).
+
+## Usage
+
+### On its own
+
+Below is an example where using the `TextLanguageRouter` to route only French texts to an output connection named `fr`. Other texts, such as the English text below, are routed to an output named `unmatched`.
+
+```python
+from haystack.components.routers import TextLanguageRouter
+
+router = TextLanguageRouter(languages=["fr"])
+router.run(text="What's your query?")
+```
+
+### In a pipeline

+Below is an example of a query pipeline that uses a `TextLanguageRouter` to forward only English language queries to the Retriever.

+
+## Overview
+
+`TransformersTextRouter` routes text input to various output connections based on its categorization label. This is useful for routing queries to different models in a pipeline depending on their categorization.
+
+First, you need to set a selected model with a `model` parameter when initializing the component. The selected model then provides the set of labels for categorization.
+
+You can additionally provide the `labels` parameter – a list of strings of possible class labels to classify each sequence into. If not provided, the component fetches the labels from the model configuration file hosted on the HuggingFace Hub using `transformers.AutoConfig.from_pretrained`.
+
+To see the full list of parameters, check out our [API reference](/reference/routers-api#transformerstextrouter).
+
+## Usage
+
+### On its own
+
+The `TransformersTextRouter` isn’t very effective on its own, as its main strength lies in working within a pipeline. The component's true potential is unlocked when it is integrated into a pipeline, where it can efficiently route text to the most appropriate components. Please see the following section for a complete example of usage.

+## Overview
+
+`TransformersZeroShotTextRouter` routes text input to various output connections based on its categorization label. This feature is especially beneficial for directing queries to appropriate components within a pipeline, according to their specific categories. Users can define the labels for this categorization process.
+
+`TransformersZeroShotTextRouter` uses the `MoritzLaurer/deberta-v3-base-zeroshot-v1.1-all-33` zero-shot text classification model by default. You can set another model of your choosing with the `model` parameter.
+
+To use `TransformersZeroShotTextRouter`, you need to provide the mandatory `labels` parameter – a list of strings of possible class labels to classify each sequence into.
+
+To see the full list of parameters, check out our [API reference](/reference/routers-api#transformerszeroshottextrouter).
+
+## Usage
+
+### On its own
+
+The `TransformersZeroShotTextRouter` isn’t very effective on its own, as its main strength lies in working within a pipeline. The component's true potential is unlocked when it is integrated into a pipeline, where it can efficiently route text to the most appropriate components. Please see the following section for a complete example of usage.
+
+### In a pipeline
+
+Below is an example of a simple pipeline that routes input text to an appropriate route in the pipeline.
+
+We first create an `InMemoryDocumentStore` and populate it with documents about Germany and France, embedding these documents using `SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder`.
+
+We then create a retrieving pipeline with the `TransformersZeroShotTextRouter` to categorize an incoming text as either "passage" or "query" based on these predefined labels. Depending on the categorization, the text is then processed by appropriate Embedders tailored for passages and queries, respectively. These Embedders generate embeddings that are used by `InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever` to find relevant documents in the Document Store.
+
+Finally, the pipeline is executed with a sample text: "What is the capital of Germany?” which categorizes this input text as “query” and routes it to Query Embedder and subsequently Query Retriever to return the relevant results.
+
+```python
+from haystack import Document
+from haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore
+from haystack.core.pipeline import Pipeline
+from haystack.components.routers import TransformersZeroShotTextRouter
+from haystack.components.embedders import SentenceTransformersTextEmbedder, SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder
+from haystack.components.retrievers import InMemoryEmbeddingRetriever
+
+document_store = InMemoryDocumentStore()
+doc_embedder = SentenceTransformersDocumentEmbedder(model="intfloat/e5-base-v2")
+docs = [
+    Document(
+        content="Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany, is a country in the western region of "
+                "Central Europe. The nation's capital and most populous city is Berlin and its main financial centre "
+                "is Frankfurt; the largest urban area is the Ruhr."
+    ),
+    Document(
+        content="France, officially the French Republic, is a country located primarily in Western Europe. "
+                "France is a unitary semi-presidential republic with its capital in Paris, the country's largest city "
+                "and main cultural and commercial centre; other major urban areas include Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse, "
+                "Lille, Bordeaux, Strasbourg, Nantes and Nice."
+    )
+]
+docs_with_embeddings = doc_embedder.run(docs)
