Marshal — Marshals data into a specified format for transmission over a transport or component
The Marshal pattern uses Apache Camel's pluggable data format mechanism to convert messages into a format appropriate for transmission by one of the Apache Camel components.
The Marshal pattern can be placed anywhere in the body of a route. However, it is typically placed before endpoints that transmit the message to another location.
Table 51 describes the properties you can specify using the properties editor.
Table 51. Marshal Properties
Name | Description |
---|---|
Inherit Error Handler | Specifies whether the node should use the error handler configured
for the route. The default is
Disabled . |
Data Format Type |
Specifies the data type into which the data will be marshalled. For data formats that require configuration, the format's tab provides the property fields to configure the marshaller. Because the GZip, Serialization, String, and Zip data formats are
part of the Camel core, you need not add dependencies for them in
your Maven

Id | Specifies a unique identifier for the endpoint. The Id can be used to refer to the endpoint in the Camel XML file. |
Description | Specifies a text description for the node. This description is included in the generated XML file, but it is informational only. It is not used by Apache Camel. |
