String Encoding

Since Camel 2.12

The String Data Format is a textual based format that supports encoding.

Options

The String Encoding dataformat supports 2 options, which are listed below.

Name Default Java Type Description

Name	Default	Java Type	Description
charset		`String`	Sets an encoding to use. Will by default use the JVM platform default charset.
contentTypeHeader	`false`	`Boolean`	Whether the data format should set the Content-Type header with the type from the data format if the data format is capable of doing so. For example application/xml for data formats marshalling to XML, or application/json for data formats marshalling to JSon etc.

charset

String

Sets an encoding to use. Will by default use the JVM platform default charset.

contentTypeHeader

false

Boolean

Whether the data format should set the Content-Type header with the type from the data format if the data format is capable of doing so. For example application/xml for data formats marshalling to XML, or application/json for data formats marshalling to JSon etc.

Marshal

In this example we marshal the file content to String object in UTF-8 encoding.

from("file://data.csv").marshal().string("UTF-8").to("jms://myqueue");

Unmarshal

In this example we unmarshal the payload from the JMS queue to a String object using UTF-8 encoding, before its processed by the newOrder processor.

from("jms://queue/order").unmarshal().string("UTF-8").processRef("newOrder");

Dependencies

This data format is provided in camel-core so no additional dependencies is needed.
